A close second to the "stop finding bugs!" admonition is the grudging
compliment "Give it to Beth, she can break anything." What they mean is, we
wish she would quit trying to make the product do something that we hadn't
anticipated.

They design a toaster for slices of bread, not realizing that users want to
toast bagels, home-made bread they've sliced themselves, Poptarts, etc. Then
they get mad at me because my bagel has got stuck in the slot and set the
toaster on fire.

Sheesh!

My favorite quote from such an encounter: "Let's stop this conversation
right now." Sure, as if stopping the conversation makes the bugs go
away.
