I just got a phone call from a client (it's clearly Monday) asking for the office email, no problem, easy answer.

He then says "there are some attachments, they look like little paperclips, I don't know if you're familiar with that, you can just, uh, double-click on that."

Thanks, mister, I'll try to puzzle it out. Can I call you if I can't open the attachments by waving a paperclip at the "tv screen" that I'm currently staring at?

Asshole.

Clearly something he's had trouble with in the past.

If people don't have the excuse of being over 70 (and techno-phobic like so many grandparents are), and if they PRESUMABLY WORK IN AN OFFICE, and can't figure out how to open an attachment, then they should be forced to turn in their frontal lobes and thumbs, and go live in a zoo.

Reminds me of that wonderful group of stories gathered by people who work in tech support - all of them along the lines of "My computer won't work, it's plugged in and I follwed all the instructions to set it up but it's kind of hard to see cuz it's dark in here, we're in a blackout, can you help me get my computer to work....?"

and "I can't get the 4th disk in the drawer, I've put the first three in but the 4th won't fit..."

and "I can't get the the drawer-thingie to open, I tried using a turkey baster filled with butter on it, but it's stuck and I am going to sue your company!"

Ahhhhhh morons, thy name is human...

Grrrr...

What an asswipe. I hate it when people immediately start talking to you like you're stupid. My ex used to do that to people and me.

Oh the beauty of the stupid!!!

Customer came in today, wanted discount as she was buying 25 pairs of earrings. However, telling me that the procedures the company have are CRAP, and that she thinks its CRAP and that my opinion is CRAP...and did she mention that it was CRAP, was perhaps not the best way to convince me to her discount!!!!!

I hope you gave her a CRAP discount!
