An early Family Guy episode had a relevant quote:

Why is everything that would be wet dry and everything that should be dry wet?!

I learned about this from The Rundown.

Presented without comment.

I remember a while ago - when, like in your anecdote, I mostly coded in bash - I had a dream that I found out people were invoking my scripts in a manner that essentially overrode settings that might (or, in my case, might not) have been set at the beginning of the script.

This never (AFAIK) happened in waking hours, but I was very offended in the dream.
