True story, honest to god.
Developed a state or the art SOA web app. Front end communicates with backend through API.
Client meeting, this guy looks me right in the eyes and blurts out : « why does the submit button get disabled after first click ? Clicking it a few times gets my request high priority »
I folded back my laptop and left the meeting without saying a word. Pretty sure I’m getting fired tomorrow.

How do you know you're about to spend a wole lot of shitty months ?

It's even better when you realize they were just messing with you.

Sprinting all week long against time. friday afternoon, committing time. connect to Git to check latest changes. Server down.
New IT Guy pushed an update @4PM.
He's been missing for a week.

If every computer of a relative has been at least once brought to you for formatting and windows setting up, then you're an engineer.

Client: I want more columns in my datatable.
Me: you'll have to scroll horizontally at some point.
Client: don't you know responsive ?
Me: .......... no.
