My favorite, since I'm not a programmer anymore, is excel

E: Your formula has a circular reference. I ain't doing shit till you fix it

Me: where?

E: In your spreadsheet, I don't fucking know

Excel: taking ages to load a file

Excel: There is a link to another Excel document, but I can't access it to update the value.

Me: Where?

Excel: To this document.

Me: ... Where can I find the cell that contains this link?

Excel: I don't know noises

Me: What if it is a named variable?

Excel: Yes.

It’s ok, you run the expression debugger, which says the first step, which is all of the formula, will result in an error. So helpful.
