I was with (ISP) for years and have advised numerous people on how great I thought (ISP) was but no more. Icannot believe because I had to give up using (ISP) as my ISP I have just been cut off from my my mail address. I even assisted a friend to go with (ISP) broadband. You have bounced a major email I needed and due tothis have lost a lot of money. Thankyou for nothing (ISP) Your should warn people that the email is not a free service but tied to being a customer.
(Ex-Customer)

Sic. Fully sic.

Idiot.

I put it through to our feedback dept. with the note : Ex-customer has negative feedback regarding our services not being free.

Best luser/fault description?

We've all collected a bunch of these terms - from luser to PEBKAC and PICNIC, from Code 18 to starfish to ESO, with ID-ten-T and TAE-error along the way. Not to mention the insidious Fiddler Virus.

Today, I ran across FOBIO - Frequently Outwitted By Inanimate Objects. Thought it might tickle some funnybones.

So, what's the funniest way you've heard to describe technical idiots and the faults they cause?

( Translation of the above terms )

Fnord.

Helping out the old job again. I had to call a place and assist a new tech.

Server and workstations moved to new office, workstations can't see server. The problem was simple: The server's static IP was wrong, but....

a) The tech had no clue this was the problem.
b) The tech had no idea what a netmask was or how it related to IP addressing.
c) When I tried to explain in the simplest way possible ("If a block in the subnet mask has a 255, that block will be the same in every IP on the network") the tech didn't even TRY to listen to me.

And these are the guys doing my job, serving my former customers. Shit. Shit Shit Shit.
