The Kafka Bug Report

Franz Kafka once submitted a bug report to his publisher. It simply read: 'One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. This is not a metaphor. Please send an exterminator.' The publisher responded: 'We've categorized this as a feature, not a bug. It really captures the human condition.' Kafka muttered, 'This is exactly what I was afraid of.'

Kafka's Amazon Review

Franz Kafka left a one-star review on Amazon: 'Ordered a book about transformation. Woke up as a giant insect. Product not as described. Tried to return it but couldn't reach the doorknob. Customer service was unhelpful—they just kept screaming. My family seems disappointed. Would not recommend.' Amazon's response: 'We're sorry your experience was... alienating. Perhaps try our Prime membership for faster metamorphosis?'
