As a programmer, I consider The User to be the enemy. No matter how thoroughly I seemingly test my code, the second the user gets their hands on it, it breaks left and right from all the crazy shit they do.
I was a QA engineer. I think one of the guys on the team I was on developed a stress response from hearing me walk over to his desk.
Lots of "page crashes if the user doesn't have a last name"
"Why wouldn't they have a last name??"
"No idea, but 372 users in the DB don't, and 20 of them were created this month so it's not an old problem"
"incoherent muttering and cursing"
