I used to work with a guy who thought you had to DOUBLE-CLICK web links/buttons just like you do icons in Windows (to open a program, folder, etc.)
Unless the web page/app is coded with doubleclick protection measures, double-clicking a link or button generally runs two copies of the underlying process at the same time. You're wasting server resources, and if it's not just a page pull but instead a process that does something significant and makes data changes, you're potentially causing lots of other problems (race conditions, data corruption, double payments, etc.)
The kicker? This genius was the SUPERVISOR of a WEB DEVELOPMENT team! Bwahahaha! I stood behind him and watched him do it on several websites, and had to suppress laughter. It wasn't easy. I was dying inside, had to bite my lip.
