"This field is wrong."
"This data is incorrect."
"This program doesn't do what it's supposed to do."
When you bring something to a programmer, you gotta get specific. "Wrong" or "incorrect" can mean a lot of things, from 'it's not the output I expected' to 'it's not the output that is appropriate to this field/document/project' to 'this data and field should not even exist it is a blight upon all things organised'.

Also in the category of Wrongness Upon Wrongness:
"Too many email? Get notifications on your phone!"
So you can notify me all the time, day and night, wherever I am with my phone (which is rather more places than I go with my computer)? Uh. NO, THANK YOU.

These aren't gripes about the place I'm working, per se. They're just the general frustrations of being a coder in a world full of system analysts...
