Since this was brought up in another thread, I thought it might be important enough for it's own thread. I listed the deal about the passage of time on community lots and how it apparently the taxi is a time machine. You spend time on that community lot, but then you return home at the same instant where you left - only all your needs are lower due to the passage of time on the community lot. This screws up sleep cycles and really messes with college courses and timing of finals.
But here's another one I think is lame. If you have a family of sims, and one of your half a dozen offspring is getting poor marks in school, the social worker shows up and takes all your children. There's nothing you can do to stop the social worker once she's there, and even if the rest of your children are doing GREAT with A+ grades and such, she takes them all. On top of that, you can never get them back without doing a silly adoption techique with a dummy family and then move them all back in to the original house.
I've never had this happen to me, because I generally know how to micromanage the teenage sims. It's still fairly half assed, though.
