Vent: Found a site where the entire header slides away if you hover too close

I was browsing this local bakery's menu page last night and accidentally brushed my mouse over the top edge of the logo. The whole header bar just slid off screen like it was embarrassed. No animation timing, no stopping it, just gone until I refreshed. How does a flexbox overflow property end up looking like a magic trick gone wrong? Has anyone else triggered some weird hover state that broke a whole layout section?

Man, that's hilarious and infuriating at the same time. I had a real estate site's map overlay vanish completely just because I breathed on a dropdown menu wrong. Feels like some devs code their headers like they're trying to hide evidence of a crime.

Wait, BREATHED on it? Like literally exhaled and the overlay dipped?? That's wild dude. I've had sites crash on me before but that's a whole new level of fragile. Sounds like they coded that thing with rubber bands and hopes and prayers. One strong sneeze and the whole house listing probably turns into a blank white page or something.
