That moment when...

You send invalid values to a web service that causes it to crash, and you get told it's your fault for doing something 'daft'... Mondays eh? :doh:
That moment.... Yesterday after a long day in hot, sunny and warm Netherlands when you stop at the yellow M and order menu's for 8 people/kids. And then that you find out you forgot to order a bottle of water. Went back to order it and the pretty blond gives you a receipt to pick up that bottle at another counter where about 25 people are waiting for their meals being made, more people add the crowd and your nr 56 does not come up in the finished menu part on that screen. My fries cold, I was glad I had a salad. But no teenager at that pick up counter that scans all the order for small or single items. It took 33 minutes waiting for that 1 bottle. The were astonished that I complained about it. I asked her if she needed a ticket from a her boss to go too the loo....like she can only workout orders by tickets....
In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

Don't you just love defensive programming? Or is that defensive programmers? :laugh:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
I love it when you can reply Yes and No to the same post. Although I always assumed defensive programming was just called programming.

The only reason we have defensive programming is because we also have offensive management :rolleyes:

Yellow M and environment.... - plastic balloons at large - plastic toy at a happy meal You know how many bottles of water was used for that? ( not mentioning the plastic around my salad..... )

We also have offensive programming ... it's anything in VB!
I happen to like VB(.NET, mind you!) and find your post very offensive :(

Well this is a new approach. You appear to be digging the hole you're in wider and deeper yet! I hope it's not so that you can throw all that unnecessary plastic in it afterwards!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!
Nope. therefore they have a plastic bin with a plastic bag. And their it is put in :doh:

You must have been very thirsty. I'd have left after 2 minutes waiting.

I don't see what people have against that. It's normal human behaviour -- isn't that what we're supposed to allow/emulate?

Show me someone who has rules that they can force others to obey, and I'll show you an @rsehole.
