I use a computer software package to perform digital simulation and analysis of electrical and electromechanical transient phenomena in high voltage power systems. Relatively serious stuff used by a select number of boffins around the world. The error message that it gives when something goes wrong... "You lose fella."

We have some battery operated test gear that comes up with some querky statements.
When the battery needs charging it displays "Low battery warning, please feed me!"
If you keep using it shuts down when dead flat.
If you try and turn it on again it says "Meal Penalty"

Other times when it has gone into power save mode and you press a button it displays "OK, OK I'm awake"

Below is a small screen shot from a spreadsheet that I put together for my manager at work. It shows the message he gets when he is in danger of over-writing a formula... (yes, I know I can solve that with protecting the cells/sheet, but a man needs a bit of fun)...

Not that long ago, I sent a P.M. email to a mate on a 4wd forum - somehow, at exactly the same time he sent me a message.

System crashed and seized up, took the tame geeks a couple of days to get everything back to "normal"

This technopeasant felt right chuffed

The company I work for sells mine planning software - also a very small user base of highly technical professionals. We used to have an error message when conflicting logic was entered in the schedule that said "Well Done! You have introduced a scheduling conflict...". If the user chose to retain the scheduling conflict (something like A must go before B, which must go before A), you would be told to "Enjoy your conflicted schedule!!!".

We had to remove it after one client complained that he was being made fun of by the software.

Nobody has complained about "Cowardly refusing to add dependency {0} as it already exists!" yet though.
