Good programmer's never re-invent the wheel, so even the excuses when something doesn't work or get done are pretty much the same across languages :) We have compiled the top 10 excuses you are likely to hear if you work with a programmer, the computer department or the tech support team.

1. I haven't touched that module in weeks!
2. It must be a hardware problem.
3. Somebody must have changed my code.
4. Did you check for a virus on your system?
5. You must have the wrong version.
6. That's weird...
7. There must be something wrong with your data
8. It's never done that before.
9. It worked yesterday.
10. It works on my machine.
