Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I was probably that person yesterday, growling "Work, you bastard," at the computer.
Well, if you asked for a password reset and then CONTINUED to try logging in about 50 times for the next 20 minutes while waiting for the help desk to respond, yes, you deserved to be smacked with a rolled-up newspaper.
Okay, seriously, I think the moron just locked himself out again.
AUGH. NEED MOAR COFFEE NOW PLZ.
I called the help desk the other day when I got logged out and couldn't log in. The help desk guy on the phone was totally flummoxed and tried everything...until I realized I used the wrong login. Sorry, help desk.
They already think I'm stupid because the lower volume on my telephone doesn't work, and I accepted their solution of "turn up the volume."
Kat, you have email! I think. Probably in more than one place.
I don't mind calls that are ultimately user error, because that's the overwhelming majority. I mean, I almost called the main company help desk the other day because I couldn't get on our intranet site. I finally realized my Caps Lock was on while I was entering my password, although I would have sworn up and down that it was off.
It's just. Some people are walking, talking, e-mailing User Errors.

Well, that casts the whole, "Around 3 pm, Robert Goulet shows up and messes with your stuff," commercial in a far more disturbing light
Hah! OMG, that's funny. But I LOVE the commercial with the bunny feet! It's so cute!!
Nora Ephron's Six Stages of Email is pretty funny.
What do you call those rubber things you put over cables if you have to run them across the floor? So that you can roll things over them without catching? I need to suggest one to somebody, and I can't work out how to name it.
edit: sometimes asking the question answers it, or at least provides the search terms for Google. 'Tis a cable guard.
