QA People also don't usually demand their money back !!
Trust me ... a QA Team (even if it is only one person) is a Good Thing. They are not your enemy. They are your friend - sometimes love hurts.

Think of it another way. If you do your job properly, they won't break it.

Questionable Attitude (QA) do it just because they love making our lives miserable while giving themselves job security. 
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?

I feel your pain.
A good QA person should be all "MUAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to smash your application into elventy zillion little pieces. MUAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!"
Non-motivated testers let lots of bugs into production; and they're never the people who get blamed when the big boss is doing a demo and something blows up in front of the customer.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

QA people are 'graded' on how many bugs they find... their job depends on it. So instead of working with you to ensure there are no bugs in the program, they do everything possible to invent problems that they can highlight just before release. It is really a bad situation.
I don't have a solution... but umm... that's my opinion. I used to throw in some obvious low liars into my code, so they could write those up and not start questioning arbitrary things like, what happens if the end user is malicious and puts a stick of dynamite under the server room. Will the client gracefully shut down and save work locally until the server comes back up again? What about if the client computer is exploded too... is that redundant as well

This is just as bad as measuring dev's performance by number of lines of code. Fortunately this is not always the case

Of course, and it will automatically call in tech service to clean up the mess and fix it, and serve coffee and donuts to the users while they wait 
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

Cant they find bugs without hating the System ?

That's the developer vs tester game! Developers play by trying to catch mistakes before the tester gets to see them!

If you've done your job correctly, they won't be able to break your system. If your entire team does its job correctly, and QA can't break anything at all, QA will be looking for work, and that's the real payoff!

Yeah, But even we do not want to love deadlines, day by day we are hating to dead line ..

I like deadlines. They help you to focus on what's needed to complete a product/phase/whatever, rather than anything else.
The problems isn't the deadlines, it's the focusing on other stuff.

At my first job there was an expression...
You have to shoot the engineers to finish the code.
Everyone thinks they have a great feature to add, it'll only take 5 minutes. Even PMs and Business Owners think the same. Reality is, if it isn't a critical requirement... leave it alone! Come back if there is time (rarely). Otherwise, it is a billable item in phase 2. We do want to make money, right?
It'll only take 5 [minutes|hours|etc]... and 4 months later it is part of the QA process, still causing bugs that delay the release, and everyone forgets it was not even a critical part of the system.

There are different types of "criptic-ness".
The answer to a clue can be a composite (as above), or an anagram, a subset of contiguous character from the clue, a homophone or some other cleverness.
for example the clue "HIJKLMNO / lb" (5,5) would be "heavy water" because it is "H to 0" (H20) over "lb" (weight)
the clue "gegs" (9,4) would be "scrambled eggs"

I see now That I just missed the Inter - "place (a corpse) in a grave or tomb, typically with funeral rites."
Now it makes sense
