The team shirt was something we really looked forward to, and of course we *had* to have cooler shirts than the NU guys on the other side of the floor.
So anyway, it was getting kinda late in the project and still no shirts, so one of the dev guys entered a bug like this:
 
Defect #: 1234
Severity: 1, high, showstopper
Bug: Missing T-shirts
 
The team and our managers got a kick out of it, but the product manager at the time wasn't as receptive to the morale boost that comes along with tchatchkies, and she set the bug to:
 
Status: Postponed
 
This kinda ticked us off, but hey, we tried. So, next year, the same thing happens. This time, I take the initiative and enter this bug:
 
Defect #: 5678
Severity: 1, high, showstopper
Bug: Missing T-shirts
Note: May be related to bug #1234
 
Again, we got a laugh out of it, and I think that time we actually got shirts, although as I recall my bug got Postponed too (grr, silly PMs).</description></item><item><title>RE: Whimsical bug reports</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2003/09/12/54907.aspx#54909</link><pubDate>Sat, 13 Sep 2003 22:55:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:54909</guid><dc:creator>Kelli Zielinski</dc:creator><description>I think that if we tried to file one of those in our database, someone would probably chew us out.  :: sigh ::  I want to file a fun bug...

I think that qualifies us for geeks.  

That drives me *nuts* when people leave them open in the fridge.  If you don't want the whole thing for your coffee, then just DRINK the darn thing.  It's not going to kill anyone to drink some chocolate milk (well, unless they're allergic to chocolate, but at that point, I'd question them putting it in their coffee anyway).  </description></item><item><title>RE: Whimsical bug reports</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2003/09/12/54907.aspx#54916</link><pubDate>Thu, 11 Dec 2003 00:45:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:54916</guid><dc:creator>david</dc:creator><description>hey people cheer up u may be geeks but know i am popular and cool unlike u so there's something 4 u to live up 2!:)</description></item><item><title>JErm Rebirth &amp;raquo; Whimsical Bug Report</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2003/09/12/54907.aspx#158084</link><pubDate>Thu, 17 Jun 2004 15:02:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:158084</guid><dc:creator>TrackBack</dc:creator><description>JErm Rebirth &amp;amp;raquo; Whimsical Bug Report</description></item><item><title>re: Whimsical bug reports</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2003/09/12/54907.aspx#159389</link><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jun 2004 16:48:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:159389</guid><dc:creator>Raymond Chen</dc:creator><description>Commenting on this bug has been closed.</description></item><item><title>If Visual C   beeps, and nobody is there to hear it...</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2003/09/12/54907.aspx#185509</link><pubDate>Fri, 16 Jul 2004 21:26:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:185509</guid><dc:creator>Joe White's Blog</dc:creator><description /></item></channel></rss>
