* Teams meeting, doing some early testing with the client *

Dev Team: This is an early build, so please be aware that bugs can occur at this stage. (That's why we didn't want to show it but you insisted)

Client: Sure, don't worry.

Client: Can you solve this bug?

Dev Team: Sure, just let us replicate it and we come back to you as soon as...

Client: Can you solve it now?

Dev Team: ... Okay, let us ser whats happening and we will come ba...

Client: You don't need to hang up, just solve it.

*Dev Team internal chat*

Me: Fuck
Other dev: Fuck
My leader at the time: Fuuuuuck

PS: This happened in two separate occasions. I hated that project.

    I'm actually surprised that it took 15 mins for the first bug to appear.

    I mean, to an extent you can’t really complain. You stated up front there might be bugs, and yet you still said yes when they latched onto the first bug and asked if you could resolve it.

    @jestdotty open intellij, start the "anime intro song compilation playlist" and probably everyone just hangs up the call.
