I had what I thought was really weird behavior in some macros I was writing
when I first started using VBA.  Only by stepping through the code with the
debugger was I able to see that certain things were being triggered that I
would never have anticipated.  I'm more aware of that kind of interaction
now, but it still trips me up on occasion.
