Dell hates me.

I had a client who works for Dell call in today. Why did a Dell person call, you make ask. Well, he was calling because he wanted to make sure he printed his label correctly, because normally he uses preprinted ones that we send out. i think to myself, ok, ok, understandable, could be he's sending something internationally, or possibly something with the form is just confusing. But no. No, no, no. He got through the form just fine and even had the waybill up on his screen. What did he need detailed instructions that took me 10 minutes to shove through his thick skull??? That (holy crap!) you need to press the print waybill button in order to (gasp!) print the effing waybill!!!! Ten. Minutes. And then he has the audacity to say to me, "Hey... you know, I work for Dell so write my number down if you ever need help with your computer." Like he's doing me an effing favor. I laughed. A lot. And I told him "Thank you, but that's ok, men aren't allowed to touch my computer."

That combined with my afternoon riddled with moronic women that make me cringe and ashamed to say that I am a woman have made me oh-so-very happy to hit the log out button this afternoon. Time to go home and make a drink.

Sorry, I wouldn't buy a computer from a company that employed the likes of you.

i love how some people think that just because they work for a certain company it automatically makes them more intelligent than you. add in the gender factor and there's much amusement to be had. i get that from the developers in my office to, like somehow tasks they can't do with their computer are beneath them.

it's mindlessly easy, plus the added bonus that you can just log into a website and not have to call someone and deal with the language/stupidity barrier.
