So very true. In our company only designers got second monitor. I saw a workplace of most other people here, and to give them another monitor would mean to give them another table.

Not a WTF, but definitely a curious perversion
The card/card scanner network is probably the least WTFey thing in our factory. All employees use the chip cards to check in/check out to work, unlock the offices with limited access, pay in the cafeteria, so we all remain deeply indebted to our employer and thus can´t escape our jobs, until sweet embrace of Death release us.
Most important use of cards seems to be access to our multifuntional printers, scattered around our factory. With one wave of card in front of touchscreen the user logs in and summons the screen with available options, then presses the proper symbol and can start printing or copying etc. Works so good we barely notice it at all. Well, most of us.
Many times I watched certain colleagues of mine to log in, then press the appropriate symbol on touchscreen - WITH THE CORNER OF THE CARD ITSELF! Which means they logged off. Frustrated, they again logged in and pressed the symbol with the card...etc. Dozen times, until the scanner fails to sense the chip and allows them to print. I said I watched them many times. Yes, I was tempted to offer an advice, but it was just too much fun to watch. Yes, I am such a fiend... Maybe I should intervene before somebody actually stabs a hole in the touchscreen...

RE: IMDB WTF
Well, now I feel really retarded (in ,,slowed down" sense of word). First I read all these comments about poltergeists, Arks of Covenant, and Terminators, and after that I click the link and find myself on poll "What is your favourite animated movie for adults." Now THAT made me go WTF indeed ;-).

RE: Job: Create an entire dating site: Architecture, 1 hour, Initial work 2 hours, testing 4 hours, protype developed 1 hour. Pay $25/hr
Can´t help but sit and wonder, what is bigger WTF: To expect that somebody will bend space and time AND write functional code for 25 bucks per hour, or to wait 3 years for damn expensive third party developers to add complain-tracking feature to our existing production database (which was created by the very same damn expensive third party at the first place).
No, really, which one? -
RE: "URL" on a dinner check
Am I the only one who read it as ,,Black Beard Diner" ? Ah, what a possibilities. I picturize infamous captain Edward ,,Blackbeard" Teach, avoiding the gallows and opening a pirate diner.
Then, the disappointment. Although the diner for black bears sounds cool too. -

I've had this conversation several times in the car when my wife was driving:
Me: Deer.
Her: Yes, dear?
Me: No, DEER!
Her: <slams on brakes>
Your wife must be a miracle of a woman. No way any woman I know would react just after ONE SINGLE repeating!

RE: Outlook+Exchange to Lotus Notus.
Congrats, this is the first time an article made me burst into horrified scream just by reading title.
I´m exagerrating, it was more of a whimper than scream, but still....

RE: We don't code from requirements - redux
Actually, creating a false parent transaction is sometimes the only way out from a mess created by fact that SOME PEOPLE CAN´T EVEN RETYPE STRING OF EIGHT CHARRACTERS, THAT REPRESENTS THE ORIGINAL TRANSACTION, CORRECTLY!
Happens every other day where I work. So far we got away with that. So far.

RE: Translation error
Sorry...Very bad education turned into very bad habit.
Or in another words, fifty years old battered typewriter in the hands of eight year old wannabe sci-fi author.
Please, don´t ask.I am working on it though.

RE: Translation error
Please, someone tell me this is fake.
I saw some translation fuckups in my time, worst of which was famous tagline, which some bumbler understood as:,,Let the unit always escort you." Originally ,,May the Force be with you." No kidding.
But this sets a new low...
