I recently came across a question in Quora that “What makes a Tester Angry?”
I just recalled some of my conversations with my colleagues in the last 8 years and picked up some direct statements from them which really made me angry during the initial days of my career.
Of course I am used to it nowadays and I simply smile at them if I don’t have an answer. Just read and have fun.

You should not test in that way.
Maybe you can test in this way.

And the all time favorites are where all the QA hates to the core,
“But it works on my machine!”
Oh, Wait. I just quoted some statements that made me angry. But still there are couple of statements that will make you to loose your temper the moment you hear.
It’s a complete waste of our testing time.
Do we really need a QA?
