Following directions....

Why can't people follow *simple* instructions?
... At my work , people send Purchase Orders to accounting through our oh so wonderful Access 97 program... They have to press two freakin buttons (in the right order) to send them. Instead they press one button that looks easier even though we have told them *many* times the order in which to press the damn buttons. Its not that difficult. You press the top one first THEN the bottom one. And now someone has done it wrong 5 times today, even though I told him to stop while I fixed his other mistakes... and now they are just piling up! URGHHHHHHHH. So I have to dig around int he database tables an uncheck some stuff and then resend the damn PO's... what a pain.
*stabby stab stab*
*edit* - I mention the situation to my boss who says he gone over the process at least 8 times now with the user in question... some people never learn I guess.
