    Some people insist on "validation" which means that you must entire a name and a "title" in the appropriate fields or the universe will surely come to an end.

    And because the developers never use the software and avoid the end users, they never understand that there are cases when "there is no data" is actually the correct information to enter.

    At uni I did the numerical analysis course... you can guess how it was abbreviated...

    was it taught by an ass. professor?

    The "ambiguous wording" problem is also seen in other software packages such as Resharper. Here's one from their bug database which has been open since 2007. The menu item is supposed to say "Continue Analysis..."

    People who use emacs and then complain about it being too complex are clearly using the wrong editor.

    I fixed it for you.

    Wicked!!

    I think another WTF is that the submitter used flood fill to colour the boxes for "Mr. Court is Vacant". Clearly, in this case, removing the blue channel for those boxes is optimal.

    You only just noticed? This has been happening for months.

    You think the captcha's been blown? I reckon there's been so little of it that there must be some twunt in the far east sitting there doing it manually.

    Haha! We just survived (sorta) a crash upgrade to PeopleShaft. ...

    I mean web pages that do a 6-second reload after every field on a form! Could you make it any worse if you tried?

    I've seen worse ... three drop downs on a web page, each the same list of about 60,000 items (the three drop downs are supposed to allow the items to be assigned to different roles), that refreshes the page on any change, and also talks to the server to retrieve the data from the db separately for each drop down, ie three fetches, when the page refreshes.

    I think it takes 7 minutes to refresh the page ... at least that's as long as I've left it to get coffee while waiting.

    It went through an extensive QA process. Unfortunately the QA and dev dbs had only 10 items.

    Casseroles and roasted meats may be unusual suggestions for pairings, but I'm pretty sure cheese Quavers without strong cheeses wouldn't be very ideal.

    TRWTF is referring to judges as "Mr." and "Mrs." In the US, at least, a judge would normally be referred to as "The Honorable" or "The Hon." Although judging by the names, I'm guessing this is not in the US.
    Ms. Court is Vacant, 'The Hon'? If loving is a crime...

    The Aquamacs dialogue is virtually identical to the GTK dialogue for the same thing, and presents the same options as are avaliable when choosing with the minibuffer. TRWTF is that people think mangling the keyboard shortcuts so they don't match any sort of standard makes sense.
