What's really annoying is when you spend two days trying to track down a bug, only to find out it's not really a bug.

I would love to have requirements. (No, vague teams messages still don't count!)

Well, I can assure you that you have requirements.

I once spent weeks dealing with a bizarre bug on my PC, couldn't figure it out. When it persisted in a live environment I knew it was hardware.

I found a charred moth bridging two pins on my motherboard on an unused fan header, I think it was causing enough of a voltage drop to cause issues because I don't see how a bridged fan header could cause issues otherwise
