I know, right? It's annoying!
I remember when I was younger I was playing the Sims 2 before I started using cheats, and one of my Sims was really hungry, but every time I got him to go to the fridge and get some food, something distracted him enough to cancel the action, like an object obstructing his path or another Sim opening the fridge at the same time. Then the hungry Sim started to die and the grim reaper came and took him. I flew up in a rage and I got up and snapped one of my PC game cases in half to release the frustration.
I've still got the snapped case sitting on the shelf.
