techrecovery"I already restarted."
%90 of the time you didn't do it right. I can't trust you. Do it again, do it with me, and do it right.
"It's worked like this for x time!"
And yet now it's broken, which is why you called me. Now that we've established who knows what they're talking about in this little relationship, do what I tell you to do.
"Your last tech did all this, and it didn't work! I don't want to do it again!"
Oh wow, look at that, a scale has been invented with enough sensitivity to measure how much I give a shit about what you want. My other techs cannot be trusted to do anything more than smear feces on the screen and annoy me. I clean up after one and impotently report them up the shackles of uncaring command every day, so you'll excuse me if when I get to you I decide to actually solve your problem. Be thankful, and express that gratitude by shutting the fuck up and doing as your told, because you don't know anything about what you want.
"I'm very unhappy."
This is the stupidest statement I've ever heard. Of course you're unhappy. Your service isn't working, you have to talk to 20 machines and 2 fecal techs, and then actually put some effort into this service. What a strain for you. But you know what, if you had a modicum of intelligence about this, you wouldn't have to go through all the shit just to hear me tell you to restart, and maybe you would have less frustration and maybe my job would entail actually helping people I can almost respect. Ignorance is bliss as long as you don't try to do anything with it.
In other news, I hate supporting the elderly. It's not politically correct to say that, nobody is supposed to express it, how dare I speak badly of those who have managed to survive such hardships, etc. etc.
Don't care. In fact, it kind of amuses me to see people get bent out of shape when I say that.
Don't like dealing with the elderly. And many of you don't either. But you know what? I deal with it. I'd love to hang up on the little 80 year old woman who just upgraded from her IBM Correcting Selectric III Typewriter to a Dell Optiplex running XP, and hasn't done anything more modern than drag race around Pasedena in a hot rod Lincoln since the Regan administration, but I don't. I realize I hate dealing with the elderly, I swallow it, and I do it. There's a big difference between realizing your dislikes and allowing them to rule you. No amount of flowery language changes that in a person, and having to dig through it to get to the truth only pisses me and others off.
There's more to that rant, but it's less about support and more about political correctness.
