I’ll start with: medical conditions, everyone would prefer to have an average well known and curable disease than a special case or a unique one
Developers when they search for a bug and no google result comes up. ChatGPT starts hallucinating mad and starts suggesting generic steps that you already did. And you’ve been slacking off for a few days because you know it’s small biscuits and you can clutch in a few hours. But you start working just before the deadline and now the dread is slowly setting in.
I discovered a legit bug in the handling of switch

Having a rule written about their actions, or a law named after them.
For the rules, they did something stupid and management wants it to not happen again. If a law, then they were the victim of something terrible.
(Slim chance it was heroic, or cool.)
I dunno, I’d be okay with a rule named after me, causing an otherwise benign item to be banned.
