User requirement gathering

Sometimes, when dealing with our stakeholders, we get into conversations that I like to paraphrase thusly:

I want something. but I leave it to other people to figure out what I want.
And make it purple. Cause that has more rams. More rams are better.
It’s my project, but don’t expect me to make decisions about it.
It needs to do everything I want, just how I want it.
But I’m not going to tell you how I want it to be done. Cause that’s private.
And if it doesn’t work, it’s your fault. Why can’t you just do it.
I need it yesterday.

Quote of the day

In the second scroll of Wen the Eternally Surprised a story is written concerning one day when the apprentice Clodpool, in a rebellious mood, approached Wen and spake thusly: "Master, what is the difference between a humanistic, monastic system of belief in which wisdom is sought by means of an apparently nonsensical system of questions and answers, and a lot of mystic gibberish made up on the spur of the moment?" Wen considered this for some time, and at last said: "A fish!" And Clodpool went away, satisfied.
--(Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time)
