One thing that I find funny is how people love to tell horror stories about work. Everyone has a couple of good ones, always about someone else and how they did some dumb thing. 90% of the time it just seems to be because the person didn't know any better. 5% of the time it's because the "customer / user was soooo dumb!" for wanting / needing something. 4% of the time it's because the manager / management was dumb or motivated for the "wrong" reasons.
Then and again you come across a story where it just boggles the mind with how things came about. Those are the truly frightening ones.
In case you didn't guess it, I made up those %'s. People can come up with statistics to prove anything. Forfty percent of all people know that.
