Not exactly a bug, but the story is worth mentioning. At my first job I was working on a CMS system for a local Med School. It had a lot of features from Attendance, to Exams, to Salary Calculations and even a small management systems for a dental clinic within the school.

The project was in testing phase, it was uploaded to production. Everything was done and the client was using it for the first time. Every morning the first thing I would do is open an email from the client with a list of errors (mostly things the client didn't understand) coupled with screenshots to make it easier to explain.

One day, I open the email to see a screenshot of a table showing all their employees and attendance for the current month. Along with the screenshot was a note saying,

"All employees are missing attendance records from dates 22nd, 23rd, 24th and so on..."

To which I replied with a screenshot of a calendar with today's date highlighted as the 21st

The client did not reply :D
