Super saver Michael R. scores a "submitter is TRWTF" award. The message actually says that Michael had a zero percent success rate at using coupons, which, presumably, is correct.
So Lyle (er, Lyle Seaman, not the other Lyle) also up for an award, "article writer is also TRWTF".

The last one reminds me of an incident about 25 years ago with a HP printer that decided to spit out a load of blank pages. I was too young at the time to have a proper grasp of "hard versus soft G", so "ggggggggggggggg" is exactly how I would have written the sound of a blank page being churned out!

No, in fact I did NOT use Coupert at the checkout and after the purchase this message came up. It is ARWTF.

The message may be correct, but it's horribly stupid.
What is a "success rate" of using coupons? It's not a competition. What does it help telling the customer how much they failed in using coupons? "You loser have a zero success rate in our coupon usage championship. You're out, drop dead!"

The proper pronunciation for FAQ is "fah-cue", because they almost always fail to answer the actual questions you have.
So you go to some site for help and get nothing but FAQ. ;)

I believe it's saying, "I have 6 coupons in my database for this site, but you did not try to use any of them. However, when I tested these coupons, none of them are valid anymore."
Admin
" Turns out that the problem was the ggggggggggggggg wasn't properly detecting ggggggggg" Or else the cat was standing on the "G" key.

19:05 CST, or 19:05 CDT? There is a difference. Given it's summertime now, and CDT = UTC-5, I'm thinking the submitter means CDT, or else is willing to wait almost 2 hours for a pizza.

#1 is why lorem ipsum exists.

You lucky person. You must never have had management bitten by the "gamify everything" bug.

Probably that extension with that icon I don't know does it like Honey and applies its affiliate code (replacing any other from the browser history) even if 0% of the coupons worked...
(Probably not, but likely. Only people hurt are influencers who got sponsored to advertise the extension and at the same time also try to get revenue from affiliate programs)

Looks like Lyle can’t tell the difference between German and Dutch …

"This is a test" reminds me of the exam I heard about to teach school pupils to always real all instructions. The instructions read like normal exam ones - e.g. write you name on each page, you have 3 hours etc etc etc. However the last instruction was to not do the test but sit back with your hands on your head. It was fun to see how many people grabbed their pens and started writing - only a few sat there with their hands on their heads. Lesson learned I hope.

You missed it: the game engine is telling you 'good game', and is very enthusiastic about it.

Obviously 10: ceci n’est pas un test.
