Reading BFG’s blog today, I had a similiar experience with “user type” people. Although it had no reference to glass windows or telephones. My experience had to do with computers. Suprise Suprise!

A user came to me with printer problems. Hmmm. Below is an actual transcript of what transpired. Be prepared to be amazed.

Question: How are you printing it?
Answer: By pressing print

Question: Is the printer on?
Answer: Aren’t you being cheeky today!

Question: Is the printer on?
Answer: Oh, Whoops sorry

Hmmm. PEBKAC (Problem exists between keyboard and chair)
Easy solution then. Hit user with rubber mallet.

Speaking about rubber mallets: They are the best way to return a hard drive that you don’t need. Say the HD you bought is giving minor hassles and you want it replaced. Smack it with the rubber mallet. It leaves no visible marks on the outside but destroys the insides.

Well, today is a drinks night for work, so free booze and food. We entertain recruitment agencies such as Anders Elite. They are always good evenings.

Hippy Killer is coming on the 20th. That will be fun. I havn’t had a beer in about 2 weeks and I know he hasn’t had one in about 2 years. Tough not being able to drink the cheap stuff!

Note to BFG: don’t forget to put the http:// in your links. Moveable Type doesn’t like it if you leave it out. :)
Visit User Friendly. I love this comic strip. Go Dust Puppy!
