I can tell you mine:
I was on a call to a friend on Discord. It was clear that my audio delivery to him was being delayed. Note that it was a video call so it was clear that he was receiving my (audio) messages late, So, here goes:
  • Friend says “sorry about that”.
  • I ask what he’s apologising for.
  • It looks like he’s ignoring me.
  • Friend activates a power-up in a game and giggles at me as I get trolled and lose.
  • I jab at him “stop giggling at my suffering!”
  • It looks like he’s ignoring me.
  • I ask “can you hear me?”
  • It looks like he can’t hear me.
  • 15 minutes later, friend says “What are you talking about? I never apologised. You also said I’m giggling, you can see that I’m not. What are you talking about?” And then he gave me a “Yes, I can hear you” x3
The convo was soooo out of context it was bloody hilarious 😂😂😂

We have an inside joke that Discord lime to strikes up Discord. Here goes another more irritating one there Discord went as far as initaiting a fallout:
  • I see on Discord I’m not “friends” with my friend.
  • I attempt to message him and I receive a “message not received” error.
  • I attempt to call him and I receive a “call failed” error.
  • I message friend “Why have you blocked me?”
  • Friend takes offence to my assumption.
  • Then, I notice I’ve been “unfriended by everyone”.
  • I refresh the Discord app and see everything has besn resolved.
So, what’s the weirdest software bug you’ve encountered?
I’d love to hear some interesting/quirky/funny/silly/annoying/disastrous stories !
