I love number 6 on this list.
“Six Stages of Debugging”
1) That can’t happen.
2) That doesn’t happen on my machine.
3) That shouldn’t happen.
4) Why does that happen?
5) Oh, I see.
6) How did that ever work?

You left out:
0 – User reports error but not how error was generated
0a – User thinks they remember and complain about entire program because of one bug they found one time
0b – User after arbitrary amount of time is able to reproduce bug
0c – User informed that bug isn’t a bug, but that the program wasn’t designed to do whatever they were trying
0d – Bug introduced as feature request
That sounds soooo familiar. Surprisingly often I end up with number 6.
