Dear $application_programmer,

I'm sure you found it very satisfying when you wrote the part of your
tab-handling code that makes the the tab that the user has just
clicked on - in one of multiple rows of tabs - jump up to the top, and
rearrange all the other tabs. However, I have to use this "feature" on
a daily basis and it is moronic, as it totally fucks the little part
of my brain that subconsciously keeps track of where I have to click
to move between $things[1] and $things[2], and so I have to spend
valuable seconds sweeping my eyes around the screen to find where that
tab I just switched out of has gone to. HATE.
