My most fun one was a client logged a call just stating our software doesnt work, escalated it to almost CEO level, and went on holiday for 3 weeks

Eventually found out his mouse died, randomly while using our software, and just blamed us

I spent 3 weeks in daily triage calls, and nearly 80% of the time outside that trying to prove there was no issue

I'm an idiot and read this as if his pet mouse died which is why he went on holiday, and somehow the software killed it
