Careful, there was a very long joke* about that floating around in the 
1970s.

* aka a "shaggy dog story". The idea was to bore/frustrate your friends 
by spinning a joke out as long as possible.  These jokes usually had 
very corny punch lines, making them all the more painful.

I'll save some effort and electrons repeating the story and skip to the 
punchline:

"That face rings a bell"

Which reminds me of similar messages telling me "Please contact your 
system administrator".

Well,  I *was* the system administrator but couldn't find it *anywhere* 
in the (otherwise excellent and comprehensive) documentation.

It turned out I wasn't the only one complaining of this...

No, the former is RISC  (Reduced Instruction Set Comedy)  and therfore 
came after the CISC (Complex Integrated Set Comedy).

~/Applications/ is a standard folder in OS X and is in the default path
of where OS X looks for Applications. However, it is not created by the
OS. I have had one since at least 10.1, and is where I install apps that
only I would need run. (things like Lingon, Omni Disk Sweeper, Max,
MacVim, GitHub.app, &c.

I've always had ~/Applications on my/family Macs (4) since 10.5 (when I 
started using Macs).  My SO has no reason at all to have such a folder - 
yet there it is.

The closest I see is ~/bin on FreeBSD and Linux.

~/bin is included in the user's default PATH on openSUSE, Scientific 
Linux and FreeBSD, but of those, by default only openSUSE creates the 
subdirectory itself as part of account creation

Maybe with a different name - but seems to have always been a standard 
in UNIX.

I recall back in the 80's coaching an engineer writing a thermal sim and 
the admin on that system (UX) pointed us to or set us up with 
object/executable being written to a folder in the user's directory 
structure (whether it was called /Applications or somthing else, I don't 
recall).
