Construction Overlow Error

I wonder what life would be like if other industries expressed errors and mistakes in the same way that software does - for example our new patio doors that were cut to the wrong length for the jam - is this an Overflow Error? or perhaps just a Type Mismatch?

Just to give the necessary background - we are replacing some really pathetic sliding doors that were installed upside down and backwards when our house was built with new (much better) French double-doors. We got two sets, one for the kitchen and the other for the bedroom - Kitchen open-in and vice cersa for the bedroom. Thus the doors are different lengths and the gaps happen to be different sizes - unfortunately that accidentally swapped the cut lengths at the factory - so neither set of doors fit the Frames :(

We have the new doors now and will be replacing them today - but in prepping for this blog it did get me to thinking About computer error terminology and contrasting that with the rest of the world.

So here is today´s list of life´s mishaps expressed in computer terms:


So - tell me your thoughts - I´d love to collect some more of these...
