Things I’ve overheard a fellow Software Engineer say to his computer while writing code

  • Houston, we have a problem.
  • I’m not crazy, I’m not crazy!
  • How do you like them apples?
  • Wha wha wha whaaa… 1
  • Man, it’s like raining cats and dogs in here.
  • Liar liar pants on fire.
  • It’s always fun ‘til someone pokes an eye out.
  • At long last: vending machines.
  • Huh, got up on the wrong side of the bed I guess.
  • They pay people to do this stuff? Hah, suckers.
  1. Sung with the tone of a whiny trumpet and to the same tune as when something bad happens to a cartoon character.↩
