It may be just me, but does anyone else get really really sick of customers trying to be cute and excusing the fact they're just not listening to your directions and clicking on/disabling things at fucking random by saying "I'm computer illiterate" (or the charming equivalent, "I'm computer retarded")?

Jesus, I know, that's why you're calling us. Now stop talking over me, listen to my directions, and STOP CLICKING THINGS UNLESS I TELL YOU OTHERWISE. And it's always left click unless I tell you. Yes, ALWAYS. Argh.

I don't get that. Why do people think that being 'computer illiterate' is okay? This is the 21st fucking century, people - that's almost like being really illiterate in this day and age.
Why do all the (l)users think that telling me they're 'computer retarded' will make it okay? I know I laugh, but that's the polite chuckle that really means 'please don't make me have to kill you today'. Argh argh argh argh.


...I think, in the normal cycle of shitty customers and good customers, I'm about due for one of the ones who brings chocolate, lest the cycle spiral out of control and end in death and maiming.

Dude.. given the general level of spelling and grammar usually exhibited by the same customers, I think they probably are 'language retarded' to use the same idiom.
