And I'm Back To Talking About Morons.....
This is a clip for the IT Crowd, and I would have sworn it was real life because the clip is so true and shows you how daft people really are.
Another Day?
Well as far as funny **** happening not a whole hell of a lot. Hit puberty the other day, that was kind of nice and a bit of a change. Besides that people being just as stupid as always and I think that critism is starting to catch up with me, went to go chat with someone,anyone on msn the other day......The only person online was my girlfriend and for over the course of a few hours still was the only one online, Do I even know anyone anymore outside of work, I can't even find someone to go to the movies with. A few years ago had more friends then I could shake a stick at and these days nobody. I'll tell ya this much you really start watching wayyyy to many viral videos when your this bored and I can't imagine it is very healthy either. But there is always something to make my day brighter and that is some good old stupidity below!

One Of Those Days
You ever have one of those days were it seems everything sucks no matter what good happens? I have a cure, watching failblog.org or watching kitties do funny things.

Been Awhile
Alright so it's been awhile. I kept saying I was going to do this daily, yes fail........ But shove it bud! I've been busy, went crazy doing a lot of overtime the last couple months making some good coin, going on a cruise, did you? no didn't think so! got to see my best buddy getting married, and I myself got engaged, didn't see that one coming did ya? I don't think anyone did. I have been bottling up all this frustration with stupid people and their computer's so I think its time I let loose....that sounded dirty.
Ok here is a great idea for the back of computers why don't they colour coordinate the connections so people don't plug things into the wrong areas......wait a second they do that already YET PEOPLE CANNOT FIGURE THAT OUT????? Really? I mean I thought people were dumb but that is just retarded!
Another great thing, us techs are around for people to ask us questions about computers but sometimes when we provide answers the customer disagrees....**** off, you called us for answers now your arguing with us....here's an idea....I'm smarter then you so shut up your face mofo.
All in all I think this blog has come to the conclusion as the past ones have... People Are _________________________ (I really hope you can fill that blank in yourself, or you yourself are useless)
Oh btw I attached a pic of my new computer setup with 3 touchscreens, whats that? I can't hear you over the sound of my awesomeness!

Outlook Express, Outlook & Windows Live Mail
If I could choose as to what the most annoying problem is with Windows machines it is the local mail clients for Windows. Same troubleshooting over and over again. Check the smtp, pop3, ssl connection settings, email address, password, .pst file, .dbx file. and after all of that send the customer back to the internet provider because the password is not correct for the customer's sympatico or rogers account, then the internet provider tells them everything is fine on their end and it is a problem with the computer and sends them back to us and we do a format and reinstall wow same issue NO ****. Soon we will have the same issue with Macs as Microsoft is releasing a Mac version of Outlook 2007/2010. Great as if they didn't screw us enough with Windows, they just want to eff up the entire computer market. PEOPLE GO WEB BASED YA MORON'S.
Why Won't People Listen???
Whenever purchasing anything electronic people have to clue in and realize that nothing is made to last, everything will always fail at one point or another. This is why if you hold important data on your computer you must always backup your data. We techs & sales people preach this to customers when purchasing a new system or when they have a system in for service then when they have a hard drive failure and lose those first 4 years of their child's life or their entire database for their business and again THEY GET PISSED AT US FOR IT. They get mad at us because they realize how stupid they were when they said no to a backup hard drive because their cheap. I'm sure all of us techs feel the same way when the customer has a complete hard drive failure call the customer and say "we need to replace your hard drive, just bring in your backup and we'll transfer the data", and the famous and most common response from the customer is "ummm, I don't have one"......Well then no data for you-who.
Even if someone does experience a situation where they lose everything, have the hard drive replaced, then have another complete hard drive failure 90% of people will still have not backed up their data.
Commonly used lines when asked why they don't backup & my response to their reason.
Customer: "I don't have the time to spend backing up"
Me: "We'll then it can't be that important & you're just a lazy moron"
Customer: "I don't want to spend the money on a backup hard drive"
Me: "Then your a cheap douche and just want a reason to bitch and complain"
Customer: "You never told me to backup"
Me: *Prints out quote for backup hard drive when customer had first hard drive failure* "Yeah, shut up. Your a liar, go away"

Murphy's Law
"Anything that can go wrong will go wrong"
When this law was created were they thinking about computers?!?! When dealing with computers that line should always be considered. No matter what. A simple ram install to a nice and easy fresh install of windows. Something will always eff up eventually. Techs often think, why did I choose this job, why do I do this to myself......Because we're idiots and like to challenge ourselves even if the outcome is us becoming uptight, strung out geeks who have problems socializing with the public in the end, this post won't contain very much as I just got off a 16 hour shift and am tired as hell. But will be back tomorrow!!

Why Must People Of All Ages Be Helpless,Stubborn & Just Plain Stupid?
I don't understand how such a high percentage of people must be babied along for everything, I mean some people we techs help on the phone are owners of multi million dollar companies, yet they cannot find for themselves how to simply right click on a icon and delete it or if they call in asking how to correct a problem, you make a list of suggestions and they say no to every answer you provide them, are they just bored and wish to argue with someone? or are they really really paranoid that you are just pulling random answers out of your ass to get them out of your hair.....yes yes this is sometimes true but other times we techs all around the world are being truthful and actually trying to find solutions to these idiotic and somewhat looney problems people cause on their computers.
Example:
Say if you were to view a website that said "click here to recieve a free lifetime supply of viagra and increase your _____ size by 40", all we require is your credit card number, sin number, bank number and pin number" and a customer were to do that and then they get a virus on their system and bring it in to get serviced, some of them would find it in their hearts TO BLAME US TECHS & NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, crazy I know.
But.....
If they got behind the wheel of their car with a 40 of Vodka, crash their vehicle into a telephone pole, then take their car to the repair shop, and blame the mechanic for the accident I wonder if the customer would understand how retarded they sound?
Knowing how retarded the average person is, I don't think they would.
This is dedicated to all the hard working techs out there who feel dumber and dumber as every day passes dealing with people like this.
