Customer: "That means it's free, right?"

Only about 4 weeks in as a cashier and I've heard this enough to last me a lifetime.

Me: Software developer. Other person: Sales guy.

Sales guy: Have you finally fixed the XYZ bug?

Me: What XYZ bug? Never heard of this before.

Sales guy: The bug that impacted our project A, B, and C! It is there for years!

Me: No, I have not fixed it. Because I just heard about this issue now. Nobody told me about an XYZ bug, or problems with projects A, B, and C.

Sales guy: What? Why didn't you know about such a bug? This cannot be possible! I'll talk to the boss about your incompetence!

Me: Because none of your team found it necessary to inform me? Maybe we should talk to the boss about this.

Open a goddamn ticket.

I will go and open a ticket and I will put two words in it, and require you to contact me for more any information, and then I won't answer the phone for 6 weeks. Oh and don't bother leaving a voicemail message or sending me an email, because I never check them. However despite my complete unresponsiveness, I am nonetheless going to insist that it's marked as high priority even though I don't understand what high priority means - Every Employee Ever

"please fix"

Literally nine tickets like this so far today. Nine.

It's a good thing for them The purge isn't real.
