The Ultimate Date Format

4 hours ago 49.8K views 0 shares

Forget MM/DD/YYYY vs DD/MM/YYYY debates! Some evil frontend developer decided the best date format is "YYYY/DM/DM" and expects users to calculate their own birthday. It's like telling someone "your birthday is in 1990, now solve for x where x equals the day you were born divided by the month, twice." This is what happens when you let the same person who named variables like temp1 , temp2 , and finalTempIPromise design your forms.

Oh. My. GOD! 😱 The absolute AUDACITY of this organization demanding a PIN between 80 and 127 characters?! What am I supposed to do, type out the entire Declaration of Independence as my PIN?! 🔐 This is the security equivalent of asking someone to recite pi to 100 decimal places while standing on one foot during an earthquake. Congratulations, your account is now Fort Knox, but you'll NEVER be able to log in again because WHO REMEMBERS AN 80+ CHARACTER PIN?! The best part? They call it a "PIN" - as if "Personal Identification Novel" was what that acronym stood for all along. At this point, just ask for my DNA sample and firstborn child instead! 💀

Google A Din 1999

Ah, Google circa 1999 - the innocent childhood photo before puberty hit and turned it into a data-hoarding monster with commitment issues. Look at that adorable promise: "a pure search engine — no weather, no news feed, no links to sponsors, no ads, no distractions." That aged about as well as my promise to only have one cookie from the jar. Now Google tracks you more closely than your ex on social media and has more ads than a Times Square billboard. The digital equivalent of "I'll just have one drink tonight" followed by waking up with a sponsored hangover.

Developers Make It Simple

Sure, you designed three perfectly aligned food bowls with cat ear cutouts. Meanwhile, your users are sprawled across the feeding station like they're auditioning for a renaissance painting. Classic case of "works perfectly in dev, breaks spectacularly in production." The gap between developer intent and user reality is why we can't have nice things... or why QA departments exist.

I Dont Give A Fuck About The Fucking Code

Ah, the classic "end user meets GitHub" scenario! 😂 This poor soul wandered into the sacred lands of repositories expecting a simple download button, only to be greeted by the arcane scrolls of source code. It's like watching someone walk into a bakery and scream "WHY IS THERE FLOUR EVERYWHERE? JUST GIVE ME A CAKE!" The beautiful collision between non-technical users and developer platforms is pure chaos energy. Developers are sitting there like "but... but... the code IS the point..." while this person is having an existential meltdown over not finding an .exe file. The post being locked is the digital equivalent of "Sir, this is a Wendy's."

Who Is Guilty: The Slider Phone Number Massacre

SWEET MOTHER OF INPUT VALIDATION! The absolute CRIME SCENE that is this phone number field! Some developer had the AUDACITY to create a slider—A SLIDER!!!—for entering a phone number! The poor user is forced to play "Price is Right" with their own contact information, dragging that cursor pixel by excruciating pixel to reach their digits! Whoever designed this UI monstrosity deserves to spend eternity debugging Internet Explorer 6 compatibility issues with nothing but print statements. This is why we can't have nice things in tech! The designer deserves not just firing, but a special circle of developer hell where all form inputs are controlled by interpretive dance!

When Your Dog Does No Take Only Throw

The classic Windows shutdown standoff! Just like a stubborn dog that refuses to give back the ball but wants you to keep throwing, Windows is playing the ultimate game of "no take, only throw" with your shutdown request. You politely ask it to close, and it's like "nah, I've got this ONE app that's super important" (spoiler: it's probably just Notepad with a blank document). The blue screen of death's friendlier cousin is basically saying "I'll shut down when I'm good and ready, human." And we all know clicking "Shut down anyway" is the digital equivalent of yanking the ball from the dog's mouth - there will be consequences!

Awesome Email

Ah, the joys of automated username generation! When your name is Megan Finger and the system decides your identity should be "fingerme" at every possible level. Nothing says "professional student email" quite like an accidental innuendo that'll haunt you through four years of college. This is why we need humans reviewing these things... or at least regex that catches unfortunate combinations. That poor student is now forever explaining to professors why her email sounds like a proposition.

Online Bank Doesn't Know How To Sanitize Input

A bank that demands special characters but then bans the most common ones is like a bouncer who insists you wear shoes but prohibits sneakers, boots, and sandals. The irony here is magnificent - they're essentially saying "please make your password secure by using things we've decided are too secure." Next they'll probably ban numbers because they look too much like code. Banking security at its finest, folks.

Login Logic

Ah, the classic "did you type your password too quickly? DENIED!" scenario. Twenty years in this industry and websites are still pulling this garbage. Some frontend dev thought they were clever by checking how fast you type your password, as if speed equals automation. Meanwhile, the rest of us are just trying to log in before our coffee gets cold. The best part? The site doesn't even check if the password is correct - just that you didn't type it "suspiciously fast." Brilliant security theater from the same people who probably store your password as plaintext in a CSV file somewhere.

Wonder Why It Was Removed

The eternal truth of software development. Product managers be like "Let's remove that useful feature nobody asked for" and suddenly users are storming the gates with pitchforks. Twenty years in this industry and I've seen more "bug fixes" that were actually feature removals than actual bug fixes. The worst part? Six months later they'll reintroduce the same feature as "revolutionary new functionality" in their premium tier. Classic corporate gaslighting at its finest.
