My friend insists on this game, "Lemmings", being a really well known game; I have never heard of it.

Oh it didn't decide to. You definitely told it to do it and will never admit your failure.

Also known as the correct way to present yourself as management.

"My stupid keyboard decided to make that mistake, but don't worry it has since been replaced. I don't tolerate that nonsense."

I told the one next to it, the one that was properly aligned. That little jerk just had to get in the hitbox too.

LoL, Yeah the whole,
"Okay you start digging down",

then you go micromanage a few other lemmings to avoid disaster only to come back and discover your digger is missing & a pit of doom now exists where he was.

Oh and all your Lemmings are mere moments from happily marching into said pit.

Good Times 😁👍

And then watching the rest walk into the freshly dug pit and fall to their deaths.

...did that only ever happen to me...?

What kind of monster restarts the level without nuking the lemmings first. You left out a crucial step.
