"RFC 1738 (and 3986) disagree" and so does Daniel D. "Reddit API has some weird app creation going on with lots of recently migrated and undocumented stuff. But having redirect URL set to localhost (or 127.0.0.1) usually works. Well, if you don't disagree with Sir Tim Berners-Lee about what URL is. Which Reddit does. hostnumber = digits "." digits "." digits "." digits". I'd file this one with all the websites that try to perform validation on email addresses, and get it wrong.
"Why aren't we getting any resumes?" wondered Fred G. "This is a snippet from a job posting. I'm sure it worked perfectly when HR tested it."
"Service required..." was Chris H.'s title for this gem. "My 2022 Chevrolet has been at the dealer for recall service for two weeks now, "waiting for parts". That doesn't stop GM from emailing every few days with a reminder that the car needs the recall service, and inviting me to schedule it at a dealer (that isn't actually a dealer) located a convenient 2500 mile drive from my home (about 200 times the distance to the dealer where the car currently sits), and providing a non-existent placeholder phone number to contact them at to schedule the recall service."

"Bad money formatting by tax software" Adam R. complained. "I'm ashamed to admit it, but yes, I did pay Intuit money to file my taxes. This should really be a free service provided by the government, but, y'know, *lobbying*. You'd think that a business focused on tax preparation software would know how to properly format currency values, but in this case they failed to set the proper number of decimal points."
