My favorite messages are "Don't touch this file unless you talk to Gary. Don't import this file unless you talk to Gary. Don't even think about this file until you talk to Gary!" And Gary has moved on and hasn't worked there for years.

I remember that time Facebook had a random text in a page saying "This text should never be visible in production" or something like that.

At my previous job we had a "this should never come up" error case

Error message for that was "if you see this, kick XYZ's ass"

Of course we soon got a customer ticket to please relay the ass kicking

The most informative error messages: “Got a problem? See me.”

I'll have you know I switched to starter after Trump announced his global trade war because it's locally produced and cheaper anyway.
