"And screw you too for that comment."

Is there a more irritating phrase than "You should be grateful for..." ?

I swear, anyone saying that to me is three seconds away from a kick in the teeth. Don't you DARE presume to tell me what I should or should not be grateful for, you waste of skin. Go kill yourself with a cheese grater.

What are you talking about? I mean, is this somehow related to tech support? :)

Oh you haven't gotten the "You should be grateful the users are bumbling idiots or you wouldn't have a job!" or "You should be grateful that I the moron magnifique dare bestow a call upon you so that you make fix all the misstakes I've made!" ?

I know exactly what you mean. And that picture is how I feel this morning after our continued citrix server issues from yesterday.

Callers and management love that phrase, haven't you found?

BUNNY SUICIDES!!

I love that book (http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/0452286239/qid=1109779025/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/701-2769683-6862707).

I got an odd one like that a while ago.
Caller: "You should be grateful that I know what a 'desktop' is. You kids and your lingo."
The stupid thing is that I was.

Woah.

The first one is funny.

Yes there is, "Why can't you just..." and then demand the most convoluted things. [EX a safe, secure intenet connection without having all those strange programs run - I mean antivirus and such]

Management often says we should be grateful we have jobs. I'd be grateful if they didn't treat us like human garbage.

Ah, yes. Been down that street. "We can't authorise a payrise for your new position. You should be grateful for the chance to improve your skills."

Improved 'em to the point where the company's biggest rival offered me a job. Manager's comment as I handed him my resignation: "I'm disappointed that you don't have more loyalty to the company."
