You Know What Language It Is
OH MY GOD, JavaScript's date handling is the ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE that keeps on giving! 😱 First, you create a date for March 9th, 2025, and everything seems fine. Then BAM! getDay() returns 0 because it's Sunday (not the 9th day, you fool!). But WAIT, it gets worse! getMonth() returns 2 because January is month ZERO in this twisted universe! And the grand finale? getYear() returns 125 because it counts years since 1900! WHO DESIGNED THIS MADNESS?! The emotional journey from confusion to horror is just *chef's kiss* the quintessential JavaScript experience. The rage is real, people!

My Zero-Indexed Elevator In Portugal
Finally, an elevator designed by a programmer! The ground floor is 0, not 1, because arrays start at 0 and so should our buildings. That green button is practically screaming "I'm the selected index!" The non-programmers must be so confused when they hit "1" expecting the lobby but end up on what normal humans call the "second floor." Bet the building's GitHub repo has 47 open issues about "intuitive floor numbering" that the dev team has marked as "won't fix" and "working as intended."

Oh look, an executive order for the MATLAB developers! The age-old religious war between array indexing at 0 vs 1 just got a new contender. While C, JavaScript, and Python devs start counting from 0 like sensible humans following computer memory offset logic, and MATLAB/R folks start at 1 like mathematical purists, here comes the decree that 2 is somehow the ultimate starting index. Next up: semicolons are now optional but randomly required, and all loops must be written backwards. The compiler will decide if your code runs based on its mood that day.
