IMO even though this has been posted a bunch of times it’s important to repost these sort of campfire ghost stories so future developers can think more creatively about strange errors.

It should be recommended reading for new IT support staff. While you get unhelpful "its not working" requests all the time, when the user does give you information on the working / not working scenarios, you should always consider them, even if it doesn't make any sense.
Is there a book written about these campfire programming stories?
This one and the microsoft bedlam one are some of my favorites.
Not sure, but there’s plenty of stories out there that one could probably be compiled.
