usability jokes
Recently came across a site that had some good usability jokes:
Q: How many usability people does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. They’re too busy complaining about the door knob.
Q: How many usability people does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. They only make recommendations about how you should change the light bulb.
Q: How many usability people does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Maybe if we go in as a group, we can get the discounted rate of $279 and download the PDF of Jakob Nielsen’s report on light bulbs. I don’t think we should do anything until then.
Q: How many usability people does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. We’ve never needed them before and things have turned out OK.
My addition:
Q: How many usability people does it take to change a light bulb at the company I work for?
A: Eight. One to get the developers to tell us where the light socket is, one to schedule enough people to form a good cross-sectional group that would show us how bulbs are changed in our company, one to make the bulb out of sand and wire because "we prefer in-house solutions over COTS... but we have no cycles to help you guys", one to attend twenty meetings that discuss whether the bulbs should be changed in the first place, one to wait for the secuirty office while it makes sure that changing the bulb is safe, one to explain to four higher-ups why the project is taking so long, one to hand the bulb to the Bulb Changing Team, and one to discover that electricity has been turned off in the room because the Department Head didn't feel the room was needed any more.
