16) "It must be a hardware problem."

As a Hardware person, I have heard this way to many times. It's hardly ever is a hardware problem. Nothing more fustrating when I use to do consulting/contract work. Then when a client would go and buy some half-a$$ program. That is against our recommendation and expect us Hardware types to get it to work.

Ive seen these with some simple programs that Ive written. Some people dont understand just how HARD it is to actually make a program do exactly what you want whenever you want but thats ok. My alltime favorite is:

No it's not a problem with the database!!!!!!
