Error messages like "this task has failed to complete successfully"

Well no st, if it completed successfully it wouldn't have failed. Who writes these things, the department of redundnace department.

I put an "### Out of cheese error ###" message in a VBA macro mainly intended for my own use, caused a bit f confusion when someone else used it

I once put "hee-haw" as an error message when I was testing a Visual Basic application; it was to mark a point that (I thought) could only be reached by a rare combination of circumstances. Installed it on the customer's system and a few days later the phone went. "Hee-haw?" said the voice on the other end. Lord knows how they managed to trigger it.

Those stupid bloody cardboard packs now used by a certain lager brand for 4 packs. Which invariably end up with several cans on the floor whenever you pick one up.

Don't ever by one the shop has taped back up, unless you like exploding beer can roulette.....

Is that Carlsberg? Coke has increasingly been packaged in the same way, where you just twist the can out from the packaging. I think it's fantastic! Maybe it doesn't work as well with 440ml cans as it does with 330ml ones.

The 4 pack Bud Light bottles come in similar hopeless packaging.

Picked one up in the Co op and one bottle fell out and became an alcohol based anti-personnel grenade.
Made a right mess of my tan suede winklepickers.

My car is broken at the moment. I changed the HT leads and now it won't start. It cranks perfectly well and "catches" occasionally but it won't start.

Anyway, whenever I walk in the door, which happens multiple times a day to get a tool, some refreshments, or maybe scouring long dead forums for someone, anyone, who had the same problem - my step-dad will, without fail, ask the following three questions:

"Is it working yet"
"Do you know what's wrong with it"
"What are you going to do about it"

Not so bad if you have fixed it... but otherwise...

Standing on a dogs dirt and trailing it into my car. Two miles down the road I look down and I have coated the brake and clutch along with the carpet in it. Will just leave it in there though as it was a rental car thank goodness.

I would put nonse puns into things that annoy you beyond reason.

Ruined? I'm having quite the chuckle!

Yep. The worst thing about non-seq's punnery are the 3 pages of whinge posts that always seem to follow him around.

Not sure why they just can't scroll past without having a cry.

For some people he ruins every thread, others aren't bothered.... including nonse

Why on earth would you think anyone is crying. Someone expressing their dislike for something, doesn't mean they are crying. The 7 volumes of this thread are about things people dislike but I have never heard of it bringing anyone to tears. Very odd comment.

If you can't contribute something useful to a thread a weak pun is always welcome.

Erm... It's because it's what they're doing.

They are having a big whinge over nothing. This inevitably turns into a 3 page cry fest until a mod steps in and frankly, the rest of us are sick of it ruining a good thread.

Nobody is crying, but people are complaining because it's something that annoys them.

Nope... You're having a great big bloody cry over it

"Waaaah he made a pun and upset me"

You're making it worse by having a cry over people pointing out that you're having a cry. You cant dig your way out of a hole.

Now is a perfect time for you to move on.

Dry your eyes princess. It's obvious that you are by the fact you're still going on and on and on about it.

Anyway, as you seem unable to be an adult and drop this. I'll be one.

That's very good of you to be the grown up

There's no point crying over spilt puns.
