Quotes from the Coders 2010-10-11

Cirrus Says:
"Ugh i hate testing programs with this guy, it pops up a box saying what he entered was incorrect and he just sits there..for like 15 seconds!
I mean we're supposed to be testing something and what is he even doing? "
Jose Says:
"What do you think? He is Thread Dot Sleeping"


Cirrus Says:
"That's what she said"
Jose Says:
"And who is this she you speak of?"
Cirrus Says:
"Some random girl i picked up on the corner"
Jose Says:
"Oh..."
Cirrus Says:
"Oops, i meant to say 'your mom'"
Prestige Says:
"common typo"
Cirrus Says:
"Yeah..sorry, my intellisense was screwed up!"


Any developer that has to deal directly with the End User of a piece of software that's being used can relate to this next one...

After receiving an email where a Manager from our Customer Service department is claiming that all orders of a specific type are charging the customer double shipping...i looked through her "proof" and observed a few things. I noticed that in her screenshots, the shipping was accurately being calculated and added, but there was a similarity between all of the orders. My response?
"All of these customers that have order totals more than what you expected are from our state. Therefore they are charged sales tax, as shown in the pictures that you provided me."

The email she sent was pretty lengthy, and knowing how quickly she types...i wonder how much time she wasted of her day just to email me something she could have seen on her own if she'd only open her eyes. The only problem i found was between the chair and the keyboard!
