Anyone ever used this excuse?

Guilty as charged :p

Regularly

try installing adobe reader... usually works for me

'I told you you needed to run (insert package manager here) update after you pulled!'

so often its not funny, more often its 'it works on the 6 boxes i have here'

Damn you all!!

Yep and always cringe when I hear myself say it.

never! because if something is not repeatable , you're doing it wrong! i literally have a hernia when lazy ass devs tell me it works on their machine! There is always a reason why it wont work in prod. and 99.666% of the time its because a lazy dev shoe horned shit into the project to get it working before throwing the steaming pile over the wall to make it someone elses problem!

Move on to Java/JVM
