Klarna says they are “experiencing technical disturbances due to technical errors”.

Sounds like a poltergeist.

In Norway, we call this class of error "a Kenneth", after everyone who logged in to see their tax return in 2012 received the tax return of a guy named Kenneth. The culprit was allegedly a misconfigured load balancer.

I once got a credit card statement that told me I would be able to pay off my credit card in 100,000 years.

It was discouraging.

Once a colleague made an accounting error and it showed that we're in debt something like 100 million.... I told him to stay calm and relax, we don't have that kind of money so why worry :)
