Never just shrugging some problem off with "boy that's weird." I usually can't let something go until I understand what caused an issue. It eventually became unrealistic to chase down every oddity, but I've done enough of them to learn a lot about different pitfalls.
Funny because that's one of the things that I've learned - when to let something go as 'that's weird' and just solving the problem without spending days digging into root causes. Sometimes it's worth it, but usually it's taking time from getting other priorities accomplished.

When I run into a perplexing thing like that, I put a tag on it so I know to come back later once my mind has had time to work on a different problem.
