Haha oh no! Just, go careful when posting this kind of image - just incase :-).

This definitely happens, it's kind of our superpower!

"Google, even though you've enslaved half the world, you're still a damn fine search engine." -Lisa Simpson

@hvidt a friend told me this the other day, I didn't even know. I'd been testing Ok Google in the same room as his phone I set his phone off (bypassing the lock screen), he has all my search recordings. Luckily I didn't search anything bad!

4/4 - Tom (a very positive guy) was so unhappy and worried last night that he was going to quit his job today, tonight he's happier than I've ever seen him.

Gals, guys, commenters, +1ers and everyone who finds this rant in the future, I thank and salute you all!

3/4 - It's hard to explain exactly what was said to yesterday because I want to avoid specifics, I'm sure a lot of people would say that these things happen all the time but the comments the guy made yesterday were incredibly personal about Tom and completely unacceptable for anyone.

We spoke to the CEO for about 2 hours and she made it clear that she was on Tom's side as much as we were. She has already found someone to take over the sacked guy's role and wants Tom to continue working with her company with a much nicer replacement.

I cannot thank devRant enough, I was furious last night when I wrote this rant and pretty much instantly got amazing feedback. This is my first rant to hit 175 +1s so I'm donating my stress ball to Tom and also getting him a t-shirt. Tom made a devRant account today, hopefully he can post some amazing content one day and get me a ball in return!

2/4 - 12pm came and went, 12:15pm nothing, by 12:30pm I was furious and about to call him when the receptionist told us he was in the building. I went down to meet a woman, this wasn't right, I'd heard it was a man that had shouted at Tom. She introduced herself as the CEO of client company and wanted to speak to Tom and myself together.

We went to an office and before I could start, Tom received the biggest apology I've ever seen. The reason the CEO was late was she'd stopped off to buy him a brand-new iPhone and MacBook Pro.

The guy who worked at the client company and shouted at Tom was overheard by somebody in his own office. It appears the guy was already on his final warning and, as of this morning, has been sacked. He'd treated other people very badly in the past and he was reported yesterday by one of his own colleagues for how he'd spoken to Tom.

1/4 - Wow, I was not expecting the response this rant's received. A very big thank you to everyone who contributed, you've made a big difference in the last 24 hours.

This morning I took our guy aside to show him devRant and this post, to put it mildly, he was very taken by all the support on here. To make it easier I will call our guy Tom (not his real name). Also, the client was a company, not just one person.

So there was a meeting scheduled for 12pm today (BST) and the guy from the client company was coming down to speak to me in person about what happened yesterday. Tom was still very upset this morning so we spent the first hour scrolling through devRant and reading a lot of rants (thanks guys!).

The plan was at 12pm I'd meet the guy from the client company, take him into an office and get his side of the story and explain Tom's side before taking things further.

Big thanks to everyone who's already become involved in this rant! I'm going to actually show the guy this post tomorrow just so he can see how many people are on his side and that he did nothing wrong, he was terrified he'd messed up (obviously he hadn't at all). I'll be writing another reply to this rant tomorrow to update. Any encouraging words for him in the replies would be greatly appreciated!

Especially when most of the time the instructions are:
1. Plug iPhone into computer.
2. Press Jailbreak.

@xinuxunil no that's far too smart ;-)

@uziiuzair Nah you're among friends, it's happened to many of us! Best to work with people you can cut off instantly if needed. Sometimes the less they pay, the more they expect.

Go on, give us the back story. But make sure it's a good ol' rant ;-).

@FelisPhasma yeah but we need to keep that our secret!

Not understanding yet still supporting is what it's all about!

@champion01 One guy would only learn Android if he had a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ to test his app on (when they were new), he couldn't get one so never bothered. Another guy wanted to learn basic HTML but refused because he didn't think he had the right desktop computer.

And when it says '100% Complete'! If it really is 100% then it can move on to the next stage instantly without needing to tell the user... It should only go up to 99%!

Yes! And whether sorting an array in PHP returns it or directly modifies the array given!

So glad someone agrees with me. It's so absurd that I keep thinking I've missed something!

@Jumpshot44 @edisonn You guys are so therapeutic, it's easy to convince myself I'm just being unreasonable. Then I get other people with the same thinking as me, it's incredibly calming!

@Jumpshot44 Nothing yet, it came through Friday afternoon. I don't like emails on Friday afternoon so I've left it for now, open to suggestions though ;-).

Yeah also your Github can be even more of a giveaway so watch out ;-).

It's was kind of a "You work with electrical thingys, what's the problem?" kind of attitude!

Right in his face. Not deliberately, just involuntary.

It can be a pain but I'll always be grateful it saved me from Eclipse - that was just horrible!

Yep he came from ASDA in a big multi-pack. We like him because he reminds us of tea breaks!

All I needed to read was the first sentence!

I hope a human wrote that rant...

It's amazing, they're always the same! It's like common sense goes straight out the window with these people!

Yep you're right but that camera thing was what really got me! We spent a few hours thinking it was a new Windows Nokia...

No thankfully. So the usernames/emails were part of a WHERE query and I'd misspelt the variable names, because those variables were missing it replaced them with nothing! And no, the passwords weren't in the HTML table :-)!
