The bugs that make you think are the best/worst.
Had a ghost foreign key constraint from a dropped table. Cant drop it from a non existant table.

Asker: "Theres a bug. I cant log into this account"
Dev: "It's a different dev database, so use the password for that one" -
Why is it that no one asks me for anything all day until 3 mins before I'm supposed to leave work?1

Support: tell them to get a better computer
CS: lets borrow their information and see whats going on
Support: reluctantly moves customer data over
CS: I dont see anything wrong here. It works just fine
Support: ... ... ... -
Today I've come to the realization that being a PM is like trying to herd cats. I don't have enough energy for this and programming 😣😧2

If you give a mouse a cookie is all too real. Started sending out release notes to those who benefit from the changes and they're now asking for access to our ticket system 'just because'2

When your company expects you to manually change information in the production db by saying "hey, client Billy wants his stuff moved back to where it was"3

When a customer question gets escalated all the way to the dev team when it could have easily been solved if those escalating the issue had bothered to use the site themselves
