> My most blood boiling error message (long time ago, maybe they fixed it):

I still have a screenshot from a long time ago from a Microsoft product and the error message reads something like that:

"Possible causes: xxx, yyy, your computer may be off".

That one is so dumb I took a screenshot back in the days and still have it somewhere in my backups.

What they meant was "the computer you're trying to contact may be off", not "your computer may be off". I honestly think that one takes the icing on the cake.

But I've got another contender screenshot, still from a Microsoft product, saying something like this: "We suggest you write the following password down: z_7-9$HqR2_vM5$pL8-wN1_bX4$kZ7-jT0_yC3$fS6-uG9_aD2$hI5-rP8_eQ1$mW4E8_oQ1$tV4-6_x$K9_j-2$G5_s-8$W1_b-4$N7_m-0$Z" [1]

This was pre-ubiquitous QR code days.

[1] and, yes, it was so dumb I preferred to take a screenshot of the password than be "secure", so I could make fun of that message forever. And I gotta say, that screenshot did age like fine wine.
