bafflement

I share your antipathy for the comment, but not bafflement. How long have you worked in software dev?

It has long been to the great bafflement of Westerners why Sony's software is so bad. You will know what I mean if you ever tried to use Sonic Stage for your MP3s.

For me, one of the most interesting things about this piece was the total bafflement with Twitter. Not that they didn't like it, they just didn't get it.

I just had a moment of confusion and bafflement. I didn't know how to process this information.

My last point was an honest expression of bafflement. I don't know what you think is gained by trying to convince me I am wrong and then piss on me for trying to say I don't understand something you said.

After a beat of bafflement on seeing the title, I actually figured this out, and clicked through to discover I was correct. I credit the Zelazny short story "Dismal Light"...

"To his bafflement and frustration, he has become a remarkably polarizing figure in the education world." There's kind of a reason for this.

He just looked at me in utter bafflement. On a related note, it's easy to discover the "formula pluggers" in electrical engineering.

This, much to the bewilderment and bafflement of students thereafter! mwahahaha!

I think they are being dishonest about their "bafflement" over the persistence of DVDs. I think the real reason is the quality of their streaming collection. There a few gems but it is filled with a lot of sub-par, unwanted, titles.

Mixed 'em up in my bafflement of his assertion of ownership over a classic mathematical example.

As time goes on, my bafflement at our collective need to swear allegiance to our tools is turning into bewilderment. Our tools have objective, technical merits and flaws, but our love and hate for them is subjective and mostly useless.

There is real incomprehension and bafflement in the UK, for example, that a swear word or nipple on US tv seems to cause comparable levels of outrage to a shooting spree. So, I wouldn't jump down the GP's throat too much, even if his assertion was put forward rather abrasively.

Configuring these systems is an exercise in constant frustration and bafflement. They're such a pain to use that since becoming the sysadmin in charge of our work email servers, I gave up running personal ones as well and just pay FastMail to deal with it for me - ain't nobody got time for that.

And getting a diagnosis empowered me to get myself healthier and finally start getting my life together after a lifetime of frustration and bafflement. For me, being celibate is a practical matter while I heal from decades of infection and inadequate care.

It is their seeming contempt for their customers coupled with a bizarre tin-eared bafflement about aspects of human nature the rest of the world seemingly grasps intuitively that often make for... well, entertainment at any rate; this story is presently top-of-fold on Techmeme.

GitHub has some confusing UI papercuts, but every time I find myself on a BitBucket project page I spend several second in total bafflement while my mind tries to parse their UI. Something about the way various parts of the BitBucket UI are insufficiently distinguished makes it hard for me to tell where one part ends and another part begins. I'm not a heavy user and I'd probably acclimate with enough exposure, but I've always thought BitBucket's general fit-and-finish has suffered in comparison to GitHub.
