This is all in a book called The Depression Cure by Stephen S. Ilardi (https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-depression-cure-the-6-step-...)

I read this years ago and it's fascinating. Looks like it's been updated for a second edition last year.


My favorite bug story. I created a curated list of similar bugs at https://500mile.email

I do sometimes find good stories on The Daily WTF, but their focus is a bit different from 500 Mile Email.


Yes. Sorry. I wasn't clear. That's what I meant by "cleaner." Good job!


Hey this is my site! Thanks for sharing!

It’s been a bit since I’ve added stories. I’ll need to add some more with this renewed interest.

Let me know if have a good story!


I’ll take a look at these and add some I don’t have!


Hey, creator here. I’ll look through these today to see what links are dead and try and grab archived ones. Will work on getting archives of the rest of them as well.


Thanks for sharing this one! I've been trying to collect more video game ones for 500ME because I find them to be highly entertaining.


I will be adding this one to https://500mile.email ! What a great story.


Thanks for mentioning! I would love more submissions! I have a few stories in my backlog to read and vet, but not enough. I'll be going through this thread and adding more that haven't been added yet.


Hey thanks for linking my site! I was wondering where the extra traffic was coming from :)

If anyone has any stories that I should add, please send them my way!

Also, I have been slacking a little with the newsletter because of life events. Since there have been several sign ups since this post, I'll be more active in getting the weekly newsletter out.

Thanks for looking!

Worthy, but no where near as circulated!


That's terrific. I was worried that it was going to end at the terse OP, but the follow-up post has just the kind of play-by-play details that I can't get enough of in debugging stories.


Oh wow. That’s a good one! Will add that one.


Hey I'm enjoying your site! It would be cool if there was a way to just get the stories. For example, Twitter is no longer capable of loading tweet replies on my machine for whatever hilarious reason, and so I could only read the teaser for the Twitter link.

Anyway, I understand that's probably not the kind of site you had in mind. Thanks for the cool site!


Thanks for the suggestion! Maybe I should add archive links from The Internet Archive for stories in case links die. In the case of tweets, I’d probably need to screenshot them or something.


In case you've missed it, someone else linked to https://www.managementpro.com/my-car-wont-start-after-i-buy-...



This is a great story. Thanks for sharing!
