These quotes struck my funnybone and brain as really great for Requirements and Business Analysts. (If I could, I would have quoted the entire script of the movie Office Space: its satirical representation of what BAs, and techies in general, deal with is grand!)
“Hang the code, and hang the rules. They’re more like guidelines anyway.” – Pirates of the Caribbean
“What we’ve got here is failure to communicate.” – Cool Hand Luke
“Oh, call me reckless, but I also accidentally erased everything else in your computers. I hope that won’t set Hammer Industries back more than couple, oh, three years.” – Iron Man
“Well see, they wrote all this bank software, and, uh, to save space, they used two digits for the date instead of four. So, like, 98 instead of 1998? Uh, so I go through these thousands of lines of code and, uh…it doesn’t really matter. I uh, I don’t like my job, and, uh, I don’t think I’m gonna go anymore” – Office Space
“Well…well look. I already told you: I deal with the g***amn customers so the engineers don’t have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can’t you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?” – Office Space
Anyone else find any quotable movie quotes that can be reinterpreted as Requirements jokes?
