One I remember is something a project manager once said...

I was working for an agency doing mostly apps and websites, one of our customers had a couple of projects running in parallel. One was sorting out an app that their own developers had made a pigs-ear of, and another - larger - project on new ground.

The customer's project manager called us up asking for some more resource for the larger project to keep to deadlines, it got to the point of trying to micromanage the other app project that wasn't theirs, and they blurted out:

"${app} doesn't even need a senior developer, it's just front-end!"

It wasn't eye-opening, we could already see what a state their other "front-end" projects were in, but hearing it from the horse's mouth was a little amusing.
