Pie Chart Form
-
We had some partners complaining about the slow response times of our webservice. They sent us a bar graph of our webservice response times over seemingly random time intervals in the span of one hour. The graph sometimes had bars at 7.3 minute intervals, and sometimes at 13.2 minute intervals.
I asked them if they had any additional information; what was the context of their bar graph, and how often they were calling our webservice at these intervals.
Their response? "We will put this graph in pie chart form".
Nooooooo

Didn't see any obvious way to get that tag, but still it does require a bit of surrounding context.@da Doctah said:

It is important that you print any pie chart that you are sent. Cut out one category and tape the edges of the remaining categories together so that the remaining part of the pie chart forms a cone. Then stab the author to death with the cone. Pie charts are a dreadful way of presenting information. (This one is OK though)
