Just now, in Medieval 2. Been playing the Moors, took it slowly, conquered the south edge of the map in peace, then exterminated Portugal, then Spain. All the while I've been sucking up to Papal States, France and Egypt - France and Egypt to secure an Alliance (which I did) and secure my borders, Papal States to avoid getting Crusaded. All was well and good until Sicily attacks me. Fine, I think to myself, nothing I can't deal with. Then Egypt breaks our alliance and blockades several of my ports for no apparent reason. Then France breaks our alliance for no apparent reason either, blockading some ports and marching an army on me. THEN the Papal States (who've gotten pretty strong through all the money I've been giving them) decide that it's a Free-For-All and declare war on me. Then, Milan decides they want in on the action and lands an army on Corsica, declares war and lays siege. Finally, the Pope declares a Crusade on my capital city. All this inside roughly 10 turns.
At this point, I decided that I've just about had enough of this crap. I'm used to AI making absolutely no sense in Total War games, as well as blatantly treating the player different than other AI nations, but this was just too much. Allies with whom I had very good relations up and attacked me without provocation, refusing a Ceasefire, even when I offered, money and provinces in return. Everyone with whom I had ANY contact had declared war on me and it just isn't fun to play like that. I'd be stuck for the rest of the game fending off full stacks of units and crusaders, all my money tied up in just trying to stay alive...

Half Life 2. That bit in Ravenholm when the spinning blade trap breaks and you have to use it to kill a ridiculous amount of zombies. I kept running out of ammo and patience, especially when the poison headcrabs showed up.
I haven't touched the game in months.
I should really try to beat that level.
I think you're doing it wrong. The Zombies will keep spawning indefinitely, you're supposed to find your way out, not fight them, at least not any more than absolutely neccesary.
