What would happen if you received an HTTP status code in real life?
This is a list of HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) response status codes that you could receive when browsing to a website. You may have seen 404 Not Found before or one of the other ones.
Look through the list and create a real life situation in which you could get one of these errors.
Examples:
I tried to open my front door with my car key, but I got 405 Method Not Allowed.
I received the error 204 No Content while watching a Nic Cage film last night.
So, be creative and have fun!

Poorly worded Fluther question. 400 Bad Request: The request cannot be fulfilled due to bad syntax.
I was presented with a 300 – Multiple Choices error at the bar where a blonde, brunette, and redhead were hitting on me.

When I decided to get a divorce, I got a 402 Payment Required.
I was walking on the boardwalk with a friend, and we were both going through stereotypical flaming gay guy lines, when an old lady walking past gave us a 406 Not Acceptable while shaking her head. We laughed even harder because of it.
Shortly after the couple decided to stop using birth control, they received a 201 Created message. – The request has been fulfilled and resulted in a new resource being created.
I return the following to people who really piss me off.
410 Gone
Indicates that the resource requested is no longer available and will not be available again
If a dumb guy hit on me, he would receive the following error: 412 Request Precondition Failed.
I wish most girls gave me a 304 Not Modified error.

This thread is funny. I wish there were more answers.
I asked a woman for her number, and it’s actually real, but she hasn’t answered yet: 202 Accepted

I called work to say that I wouldn’t be in that day when I got the 503 Service Unavailable warning. [The server is currently unavailable (because it is overloaded or down for maintenance). Generally, this is a temporary state.]
Sister: “Do you know where the chips are?”
Me: Error 410: Gone.
I’m backing out of the driveway when the gate comes loose and swings to. I don’t notice until it clips the side mirror off. After spending a minute finding creative alternatives to colorful language, I make a note: Error 502: Bad Gateway.
