Great idea, but after trying it dozen times I still didn't get the most common excuse: "works fine on my machine"

Strange. It seems to be working for me.

You know sometimes it is a polite way to say that " it is YOU who messed it up, so why don't you analyze what you have or have not done and try to fix it"

I've found "It worked yesterday", it's all of the same vriant.

My personal favourite is "Everything worked fine in the dev environment"

Yesir. I'm using Puppet myself and it's saving me boatloads of time and energy and brainwracking.
