After hearing a number of rather amusing anecdotes that happen during usability testing, I thought it would be great to share those with others in comic form. We’ll occasionally be doing more of these in the future, whenever the fancy strikes, but first we need some good stories.

Awhile back, we asked about usability horror stories and Carolyn Snyder gave some gems from her experience. We want more! If you have a story to tell us of how boneheaded your design process was, or that usability test that went oh-so-wrong, or how executives torpedoed your well researched design because they didn’t like blue, we want to know!
