Stupid Customer Rant

[juffles]

A lot of my job is formalising peoples' work processes - generally taking their dodgy Excel spreadsheets that have been worked on by 20 people over 5 years, and turning them into a formalised database-based system - this gives them scalability, reliability etc. Along the way I come across some truly retarded Excel formulas

We know (because they've told us) that those customers completely ignore all of his recommendations because it would put them out of business within one year.

I think I know what you're working on. I better bring chocolate home with me tonight.

[juffles]

You do know. Mmmm chocolate.

Bringing beer home as well/instead would cement your place as Most Awesome Girlfriend Of All Time against all challengers. Not that there are any. But just in case - you know, buttressing. Fortifying your position like a bunch of sexually ambiguous city-dwellers facing an army of semi-naked Greeks armed with enough wood to build a large horse.

What's a good combination of beer and chocolate?
(I'm partial to dark chocolate and red wine myself)

Oh, and 0 or 1 btw. Ow. BAD code.

Sadly, there is no good combination of beer and chocolate.

Perhaps a very dark ale and a dark chocolate, but I hold little hope.

Also. I can't actually read this, but do they need to define the range of x better? Won't Y always be 0 or 1 and never 2 or 3?

[juffles]

Won't Y always be 0 or 1 and never 2 or 3?

Bingo. Many nested conditional statements that can never be reached.
