Aaaand for anyone who is reminded of the BOFH excuse list:
http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ballard/bofh/excuses
This is great.
"Zombie processes haunting the computer"
It's a real thing!
While I understand where a few of these are coming from, a lot of them can be dumb mistakes:
There must be something wrong with your data - We didn't build in any error-checking
Oh, that was just a temporary fix - Nobody ever followed up on that
That worked perfectly when I developed it - We never tested it
etc
"Is it documented anywhere that we support that?"
Is there an API for this?
