Offhand things people say that are actually code for I've made things worse
Things I've heard in the last couple of days:

 - **What they said:** "Oh, if you're working on that service, you need to stop the one on the test environment or else they'll get mixed up"
 - **What they didn't say:** "We've added a service that doesn't respect the difference between environments, now only one developer can work on it at a time, and he has to stop the one that the CI server starts after each build, and in the normal course of things your local dev environment won't get serviced"
    
and

 - **What they said:** "Hey everyone, theres some new configuration you need to add to you your local machine to get authentication to work, check your email for the steps!"
 - **What they didn't say:** "I've added a new component to the system but haven't automated the configuration, so theres a whole load of manual configuration needed when you set up a new dev pc or deploy to a new environment"

Do you have any of your own? Do you have any links pages detailing the principles being violated that I could use to point these things out to people without coming across as a PITA?
