User behavior Memes

Spent 6 weeks perfecting that "simple, intuitive UI" with proper spacing, clean design, and careful user testing? Congrats! Your users will immediately find the most chaotic, physics-defying way to interact with it anyway. The gap between how developers imagine people will use their carefully crafted interfaces versus the reality of users treating it like a carnival funhouse is the eternal comedy of software development. No matter how many bowls you provide, someone's gonna do a full-body sprawl across all of them.

You spend weeks crafting a beautiful UI with separate food bowls, carefully positioned for optimal feeding efficiency. Then your users show up and completely ignore your meticulously designed architecture, sprawling across the entire interface like they're at an all-you-can-eat buffet. Eight years in frontend development and I've learned one truth: no matter how intuitive you think your design is, users will find a way to use it wrong. It's not a bug, it's a feature of human nature.
