Classic user error
At a school I was we used to have a mean IT teacher and one of his favorite sayings allegedly was: "Often, the error is in front of the display."
Classic PEBKAC
PICNIC
ID10T
Professionals call it a "layer 8 problem"
Or sometimes an ID10T error.
I could be wrong, but I think that one originated in the military.
I usually say that the problem is between the keyboard and the chair.
In my computer science class this week I was having an issue with a line of code throwing an error I'd never seen before, so I took my laptop up to my instructor for help. After looking at my code for a minute she very solemnly said "oh, I know what's wrong. It's your fault." After we finished laughing I said "I know it's my fault, but please tell me why so I can fix it"
The error is located 20 cm in front of the keyboard.
