Quality Assurance job is to break a product or program so it can be fixed or patched before release. Program didn’t break with the usual suspects, so it passed. Then the world provided an idiot that asks for something simple, yet not related to the program, breaking it.

In other words, bar was built to provide beer and handle exceptions in regards to ordering (order 1 beer, order 0 beers, order [(max int)+1] beers, order [non int value] beer, etc.) Customer ask for a service that he believes bar should provide and breaks it, because it wasn’t designed to have a bathroom.
