So let's say you are a noob, trying out Bitcoin for the first time ever. You have some dollars in Bitcoin and you want to send some to your friend to test it out. You see the "fee thing" and see how it gives you the possibility to put a 0 on it. He may thing "cool, this is optional it seems, it seems it will work if I put a 0 on it anyway just slower". But then it turns out the confirmation is stuck...

What happens to the guy's money? Is it stuck.. for how long? Can a transaction be unconfirmed for life? what then? scary.
