Sometimes you don't even get an error, only warnings, and still the thing won't compile … Also, overfull hbox. Still don't have an idea how this happens so often, even less why I should bother

It basically means that a line is overflowing past where it’s supposed to, e.g. if you put in a hyperlink that isn’t allowed to contain a line break, but it’s too long to fit in one line. It overflows.
I agree, but I'd like to add a tip.
If you add in the preamble
then (La)Tex will allow bigger overflows without complaining (and almost nobody will notice). The default value is 0.1pt, that is really small.
For internal documents or early drafts you can use 5pt. :)
