"But, I didn't read it!" is not a valid excuse when you say you didn't know that bringing in your laptop every 90 days is a requirement on the single page agreement you've already signed.

You expect them to *read*??? You know how the (l)users think, things that contradict their beliefs they ignore/deny, especially if it is in writing and they signed it...
-VoiceOfSanity
That's why I cover the important points before they sign out a machine. if they can't/won't undertand/read the lawyereze. -McSmiley
Wait... VOS, since when do yo expect the (l)users to **think**??? Think requires at least two neurons to exchange some electrons. Their single neuron can only bounce around in the void. -buitre
McSmiley, wait till you have to do that with a lawyer! -redevil34 |

If I send you an e-mail on Monday, to come up on Tuesday and you're a no-show, it's OK to e-mail me Thursday afternoon to come up when I have other people scheduled.

TS House rule: If I get a new game (Diablo III), the hard drive I install it to will fail midway through the download. After getting a new drive and getting it downloaded part way again, the OS drive will fail also.

Not to worry - the Bliz servers were failing just as bad so you didn't miss much... :-) -virtualchoirboy

Even if you are the first one in the building so you can do that server maintenance to clear the error that's been annoying you, as soon as you shut off the server, someone will show up asking if the server is down then question you and your equipments reliablity then proceed to insult you to the effect of "I'm copying everything back to my desktop!"....to which I want to inform them "Your profile is stored on my servers anyway...."...Muwahahahaha!

next time respond : we don't have a "the server" -gashach
It's even better when they refer to it as "MY SERVER". -ChildofCthulhu
We get that here a lot..."Is the server down?" My usual response is "Which one?" Usually they don't like that question and get a bit pissed off when they have to be more specific. -Starfury
We have one hundred and twenty-seven 'The Servers,' to which do you refer? The Server that is Blue, The Server that is Green? The Server that has one meg, or runs Symb-een? The Server with a Red Hat, or The Server we have to lean? There are many The Servers, small and tall; Which is Your Server, do tell us all! -LDFeral
three points to LD-'Seuss'-Feral -TheCyberwolfe
(Luser with hands on hips and exasperated tone) Whaddyamean "which server"? MY SERVER, DUH!! (Cue Tapping Foot) -ChildofCthulhu
Which server...the one that is down...DUH stupid nerd -neuman1812
It becomes a real question in our case. I have lost track of how many servers we have at corporate and our two colo's, not to mention over 600 locations with one file server and up to three print servers. How many servers do we have? I'd say it's less than infinity. -Captain Trips |

It's amazing how a hair-on-fire issue, if ignored, becomes a non-issue if left alone long enough. During my server install the last 2 weeks, a user kept telling me how his old broken Xerox scanner won't work anymore after installing the new Xerox work center drivers (which scans). He "reminded" me every hour or so that it was still broken. Now, two weeks later and done with the installations, and haven't heard a peep from him. I want to quote MIB "Yours; old and busted, mine; the new hotness!"

If you ask for my advice on an issue and promptly choose to ignore it... DO NOT expect to get ANY advice from me in the future...

Heh, I see you've met my wife. -VIPERsssss
And mine. -charred
Mine as well. :p -SwedishChef
And my co-worker... -reveriel
Apparently my wife has three other husbands. -thx1138
Obviously none of you are married to anyone in MY family. If you were, you'd keep getting advice whether you asked for it or not. -ManyHats |

What do those words up there say? -ActingUpAgain
I have actually done that in all seriousness. There have been a few times that I get an encrypted email that for some reason Outlook can't decrypt even though my certs are properly installed. I have to respond to the person letting them know I can't read it and ask them to resend. -jwinc7 |

When you travel for two weeks and are packing all the dirty laundry back into the suitcase it won't fit as well on the trip out and some of it will end up in the carry on bag. 2 Weeks in San Diego and 2 days of sun.

Clearly, you are not well versed in suitcase-cramming. -Stryker One
If you put your dirty clothes under the mattress the night before they take up less room in your suitcase. A) because they are mashed flat or B) because you forget and leave them there! -TieDyedDinosaur
Here in Sandy Eggo, we call this time of year "May Gray." It will be followed by "June Gloom." After that, sunny and hot until it rains in December. Ho, hum, another shitty day in paradise. -Captain Trips
Except when that May Gray & June Gloom continues on through the summer, otherwise described by the (in)famous weatherman John Coleman as "No Sky July" and "August Foggest"... -MadJack
These aren't my boxer shorts, man. They bend! /Dave Lister, after Kryten does the washing. -Erraticus
@ Mad Jack: ... Unless you go east past La Mesa, and who wants to do that? -MeanDean
After getting home and opening the bag...the TSA had "randomly selected" my bag to search. hope they enjoyed digging through my dirty clothing. -Starfury |

If you are here to maintenance the AC units, just because you think I know computers (slight understatement), doesn't mean you get to stop working to try to explain every minute detail about all your family network and computer issues. You will however get a detailed explanation of my consulting fee's and my card.
