2533. Subject: I dare you to be more self-contradictory
Actual reply from a person in leadership asking if she needs any files backed up before I reimage her laptop:

"No files needed to be backed up that I can recall. If possible, could you back up the files I have saved on the desktop?"

  • Me: "I think you should be using Firefox for that." "That says Firefox needs upgrading, too. I don't think I have Firefox." -Captain Trips
  • I'll bet Mr 33 would then back up all files except for the Desktop. -redevil34
  • No, I think Mr. 33 would back it up by removing it from the computer and locking it in his desk, and not telling anyone for at least a week. -Captain Trips
  • Are you sure that Mr. 33 wouldn't think that "backing up" the files consists of picking up the computer and moving it "back" on the desk by 6 inches? -Voz
  • 2532. Subject: trial period help

  • 2531. Subject: Why I'm Out of Office
    Customer:"By the way, your Out of Office is on." NO KIDDING. This frequently happens when you've Emailed me 3.75 hours BEFORE my shift starts for the day. At the time, I was still communing with my pillow. By the way, my shift is noted in my Email signature, which was clearly affixed to several previous Emails to this numbskull.

    The Reply to All button is not your friend. It is your mortal enemy. You must take great care in using it. It will, given half a chance, turn on you and make look like a fool.

  • This has always been our downfall: to expect users to read. If you don't use Tarzan-speak, or put the manual in a coloring book form, they don't get it, ever. This is also why we don't have flying cars. -Biosynthetic
  • 2527. Subject: gramar checker
    Body: "Sir do you have a program called gramar checker." (unedited) The I-wish-I-could-reply: Yes, it's called elementary and high school.

  • At least he didn't start with the word, "Like,". http://www.wtfux.net/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/69b84_68e55404-de12-49c1-a32c-f9fea938e9f0.jpg -Biosynthetic
  • It's funny... I use Firefox, I type my messages, and when there is a misspelling I get a flag on the word. Doesn't matter if it's here, the Washington Post blogs (where I annoy a lot of folks) or elsewhere, there is a way to check the grammar and spelling. I guess most folks treat the little wavy red line under the word as an emphasis mark instead of what it really means, namely, you're being an illiterate idiot. -VoiceOfSanity
  • You know, VoS, that all they would need to do is click on "Add to Dictionary" for the misspelled word, and it becomes part of their vocabulary. As to whether they are clicking by reflex without really looking at what they're typing, or whether they think that "gramar" really does have only one "M", and the software must be wrong, well... -Voz
  • 2526. Subject: The Queque Is A Lie

    2524. Subject: I don't understand
    We received an email from an EU. For about a week we have been attempting to contact her to return her laptop we repaired. So in our resolution we explained very plainly "Moved hard drive to new computer, increased memory. This will enable better performance". The user responded, "I don't understand".

  • Well, they say that everyone in the world has a twin somewhere...Either that, or George is the "North" stupid pole in this hemisphere, and she's the "South" pole. If they get too close to each other, it throws the whole world out of it's orbit. (damn, too much coffee this morning...) -docbrown01
  • North? South? I think George is at the East pole :) -Diptera
