Robin - I too have anger issues... two joke my wife would like me to share
(mostly she tells them about me):
1) any time an app on her (our?) windows server crashes, she classifies it
as an 'rtfm ID-10-T' error ('read the feching manual, idiot')
2) abstract, seemingly random software issues are often described as 'lying
somewhere between the chair and keyboard'... this one often works when
describing the desire to 'un-send' email
