Believe Them... At Your Own Risk
The classic programmer time estimation paradox in its natural habitat. When a dev says they'll fix a bug in an hour, they genuinely believe it.

Excel's February Existential Crisis
The philosophical debate about half-empty vs half-full glasses PALES in comparison to the absolute EXISTENTIAL CRISIS that is February in Excel! While mere mortals contemplate optimism and pessimism, spreadsheet warriors are battling the UNHOLY TERROR of Excel thinking February 1st deserves MULTIPLE EXCLAMATION MARKS!!! Why? Because Excel is DRAMATICALLY SCREAMING about the shortest month like it's the apocalypse while your date formatting slowly crumbles into chaos. The spreadsheet doesn't care about your glass - it's too busy having a complete meltdown over 28 days of pure calendar ANARCHY!
