      Had a contract working from home once and sent program update to the company forgetting I'd left some debugging code in that created a text file arse.txt.

        Could have been worse. The bank could have sent all its prestige clients a personalised letter starting Dear Arse!

          Could have been worse. I once sent an E-Mail to a Co. Director named Alan, starting with 'Dear Anal".

          I also once had what became a blaziing row with my team leader ( in my permie days) when I used a GOTO in c code.
          It was a bootloader, control wan't coming back.....

            Do you get extra points for triggering a millenial?

              Oh dear. I think you need eye tests.

                  I found that the best way to trigger a millenial dev is to let them develop a larger feature and then reject it saying it's over-engineered garbage

                    This one is the client, and is, in fact, a pretty good programmer.
