when i was in high school i did an internship at a family friend's ASP.NET shop; we used VSS and I once got a call from an irate coworker who shouted me down for minutes for keeping a file locked after I wasn't using it until I started crying. I wasn't the one who had left the file locked this time; i'd done it in the past and he assumed it was my fault again.

sure do wish someone had checked those boxes for him!

sometimes it's still a surprise to me that I decided this is the career i still wanted to pursue after that experience but i haven't been shouted at like that since then.
