This reminds me of the time QA was insisting that my touchscreen driver wasn't working right, so I walked over and peeled the protective plastic off the screen.

Or the time a third-party tester claimed that a device was consuming more power that it was supposed to, so I flew across the country to remove a piece of tape from the front of the device.

What are you complaining about? You got a trip and the pleasure of peeling! Not to mention the smugness benefit from seeing their faces. I hope you ate some local specialty before flying home.

It was Baltimore. In February.

I never got to see the face of the asshole who put the tape on. It wasn't the tester's fault that time, but that of some dumbass manager.

I did get crab cakes tho
