One time my coworker added some debug text to a webpage because it seemed like it wasn't updating when he made changes to it. Later when we were demoing the feature - which was used to keep track of bosses and managers - our client asked why every name was prefixed with 'monkey'. Oops. We had a good laugh about it and it became a running joke.

My younger coleague once almost tear his hair out over one night when he was trying to display data from DB on a page. Simple little job, but hours of nothingness. Good 2 hours passed untill he enraged slamed hands on desk, which clicked and moved his mouse pointer on screen, selecting some text. Only then he realized he was tiping white text on white background the whole time 😂

I had a pretty good laugh just now.
There's this extension I wrote for our client's online shop which enables them to create template files via the backend. Essentially it's just an editor reading and writing files from/to a directory.
So I installed said extension using a package I found locally, thinking it was the latest release. Unfortunately it was not.
As I said the extension writes template files within it's own directory and back when I had packed up the extension, I must had forgotten to delete these template files resulting from tests and messing around.
Long story short, I just received a ticket about a line of text suddenly showing up below the product page description saying: "I like turtles!"
The ticket itself was very professional though and the client didn't forget to mention that the "notice" was not part of their product feed data. No shit! LOL
