The bar gets totally full to 100% Yea! But wait, there's more. Here's another empty bar to replace it.
Granted, sometimes they have 2 bars...the top one being the sub-folders and bottom being the "main" one. But don't count on that one being the only one either...it often gets renewed with another "main" progress bar just as easily, further increasing disappointment and impatience.

Oh well...they don't anger me. Just a peeve. Guess they're still better than an hourglass!

In my computer science class I remember programming a little program that was just a loading bar which went so slow it took almost FOREVER to complete. In fact, at certain points the bar would start to go the other way for a minute or so. When the bar finally finished a message would pop up saying "Please insert Disc 2"
