In the comments to the last post, Gregory suggested a blog thread<\/a> to collect people’s favourite (or not-so-favourite) stories of “Human Errors”. As Gregory said …<\/p>\n

“I wish somebody could create a post to collect all the “Human Errors”
\n(I’m sure people are very creative when generating “Fun”).”<\/p>\n

Post your best story here or, because these stories may be long and detailed, post them on your own blog with a link here. I’m assuming we’ll keep this to those errors involving computer systems otherwise it could get out of control. <\/p>\n

Unlike Tom Kyte’s new features challenge<\/a>, I don’t have a book that I’ve written to hand to give away as a prize, but as I’m about to attend Openworld I’m sure that I can pick up a suitable prize there, no expense paid. Failing that, I’ll have a whip-round among The Boys (but that usually raises about 37 pence). I will be the sole judge of the best story and will be applying a cynical eye to detect any fabrication. (Although these stories do tend to beggar belief.)<\/p>\n

P.S. Bear in mind that you can post anonymously and you can pretend that the story involves the error of a ‘friend of yours’.
P.P.S. I won’t be entering the competition, but I think my credentials in this area are already solid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
