* Most console emulators have a speed up function (or rather, emulate as fast as you can function). This is handy because it can go through boring scenes really fast, and for disc-based platforms like the PlayStation, it '''decreases load times''' without affecting anything. Cue going back to the real world with any software and trying to speed up the process by pressing the keys to activate it in the emulator.

*The rising popularity of semiautomatic transmissions has caused this trope to occur somewhat. With the center console shifter, some have you pulling back to shift up (like racecars) and others push forward (push up, gear up) and I think some even operate by moving the shifter sideways. The paddles may operate differently as well. On some, pulling one paddle shifts up and pulling the other shifts down. On others, pulling either paddle will shift up and pushing either paddle will shift down, or vice versa. Plus, on some cars the paddles are stationary and on others they rotate with the steering wheel.

* In most computer programs, if you try to quit with unsaved work, it will ask you if you want to save before quitting. Saying Yes will save first, possibly pulling up a Save As dialog box. Saying No will quit immediately. But in Microsoft SQL Server Profiler, a MagicalDatabase debugging tool, the equivalent question is if you ''really want to quit'' with an active trace still running. Saying Yes is the "quit immediately" option, while "No" sends you back to the program. [[WallBanger Why?!?]]

** One other issue, if you try to switch between the Classic Controller and a Gamecube controller, is that the Z button is in front of the R button on the Gamecube controller, but the R button is in front of the Z1 button on the classic. As an example, even if the other button placement issues are worked around, someone experienced with using the Gamecube controller in ''Super Smash Bros.

Most Trackmania servers have a playlist of tracks on all environments in random order. Going from Desert to Stadium or from Snow to Bay ''will'' cause you to overshoot the first turn.
