Back for 1 day, and already stupidity has hit.

How can you tell when it's a bad day at work?

When your customer types in "forwardslash" instead of "/" when you're trying to do "ipconfig/release"

*headdesk* Anyone have a gun to kill me with?

I had the same problem earlier

I think after the third time I said "To the left of the shift key, same key as the question mark" he finally got the damn point.

Oh god.. my brother does that all the time.

It's more irritating when i'll ask someone to type in "h t t p colon slash slash" and they ask which one is the slash. THE ONE YOU ALWAYS USE, ASS.

Wow, I'm amazed that they could spell 'forwardslash'

My personal variant is using an F-key. I get people that will press F and then the number that I specified. F is for fuckwit :).

I spent probably 20 minutes on the phone with my mom trying to explain this to her.... and every time she would swear she was typing it in correctly and it would give her an unknown command error...

My directions:
"Type in ipconfig space the slash that is on the question mark key then type release."


in the end it turned our she was typing "ipconfig \release\"


::sigh:: worse than the customers...

i've had a customer ask me were the "wordslash" is located.

wait, isn't it "forward splash"?

I love the ones who insist they know where the backslash is, then it doesn't work and you have to tell them agaaain which key is backslash
