Client requirement for a website:
"It needs to be poppin!"
Client trying to squeeze in extra functionality:
"Yeah but, this change is simple and I know you can knock it out quickly."
Initial client call:
"We've already had 3 different developers building our ecommerce site over the course of the past 3 years. We just need you to make it responsive."
On unit tests:
Do I need to pay you for the time spent writing unit tests?
On bug fixes:
Do I need to pay you for bugs that came out of your code?
And last, but not least:
"Is it web scale?"
WARNING: Incredibly funny, but has foul language.

Mcqueen LOL... Here's a typical way that conversation goes:
Friend: Dude, my computer is running so slow. Can you take a look?
Me: This usually happens when people visit websites they shouldn't. You sure you want someone as technical as me working on your computer?
Friend: Wha...? Um... hehehe... I was just kidding. Um... oh hey, you want to go see that new movies?
Me: 🤣

I can't pay you, help you get funding or help you develop it, but I'd love it if you could just make this for me for free. "

"Oh God! you're doing it wrong!, here, this is how you do it, seriously, watch and learn!" (start typing on the colleague's keyboard)
"What! you can't figure it out? that's what you get for wasting your years with all the parties and games, I told you so, go back and read Algorithm 101!"
Try one of these, and see the looks on your coding mate face : )

That brings me to an interesting question that I have no idea if it would work.
Is it possible to affect a computer using a ton of cookies? I mean, like, unsigned long long int.max_value.... to the point where you could take up enough memory to impact how your system operates?

Yes, I know, that would be logical, but I'm saying theoretically.
I was trying to imply what would happen if there were none. obviously this wouldn't actually happen, but if there were no limits?

“You are a geek programmer, you must be getting lot of girls!”
Never say this to any programmer. It’s like telling the cashier of the bank, “You are a cashier, you must be owning millions of currency!” Well, you hit where it hurts the most. 😞😞

"Can you JUST..."
This usually ends in sentences like:
"...reconfigure the Hadron Collider over lunch?" or
"...just recode it in assembler by Tuesday?"
