I didn't expect the last act of the user. Simply amazing.

Fix implemented: user given apron and replacement cake.

There's a certain point where you just shrug and give up.

Sometimes you just have to accept that the problem exists between the keyboard and chair and work around it.

This reminds me of the time QA was insisting that my touchscreen driver wasn't working right, so I walked over and peeled the protective plastic off the screen.

Or the time a third-party tester claimed that a device was consuming more power that it was supposed to, so I flew across the country to remove a piece of tape from the front of the device.

What are you complaining about? You got a trip and the pleasure of peeling! Not to mention the smugness benefit from seeing their faces. I hope you ate some local specialty before flying home.

It was Baltimore. In February.

I never got to see the face of the asshole who put the tape on. It wasn't the tester's fault that time, but that of some dumbass manager.

I did get crab cakes tho
