Custom Software Development Leads To Marriage Feud

In a world that can become more and more personalized if that's what you're looking for, custom software development had led to one very interesting feud between one technologically savvy married couple.

Seattle, WA (prHWY.com) August 9, 2012 - In a world that can become more and more personalized if that's what you're looking for, custom software development had led to one very interesting feud between one technologically savvy married couple.

It all began one day when Jerry Cooper wanted a little bit more pizzazz in his daily workflow to try to keep him from falling asleep at work.

"I wanted brighter colors, louder sound, more things that interested me going on instead of just the usual boring black and white documents that I had to work with every day," explained Jerry.

So he hired a software development team to help him with his vision. Suddenly there were bullets flying through his applications, enemies hiding behind paragraphs if you spelled a word wrong, and bikini-clad women there shouting his name, cheering him on when he finished a project.

"It was a mixture of goals that involved delayed self-gratification and just random things that all guys like," said Jerry. "I think the team did a great job of making me more aware at work.

Jerry's wife Barbara was not too happy about this arrangement, however. She logged on to his work computer one day and saw women half her age riding on Harleys on his desktop, reminding him to pick up milk on the way home from work, and was a little disturbed.

"Am I not good enough for him?" asked Barbara, "and why can't I have that kind of motivation as well??

So she hired the same team of programmers to do some customization for her as well. Now there are teams of swimmers and firefighters suggesting what words she should type in the Google search bar, recipes for high-end drinks peppering her Word documents, and a constant stream of advertisements for high-end dresses that float across her e-mail program, complete with suggestions for how to trick her husband into buying things for her.

Suddenly mild jealousy and resentment was pointing both directions, with both parties too stubborn to find any acceptable way to meet in the middle. Having been married for 20 years, they knew that the only way to win the fight was going to be to get some third party advice.

The couple is now going to counseling, but their sessions occur much less regularly than in the past, because their therapist has hired the software development team as well.
