Dots...

Was just on a call, fixing some guys OE.

Ever noticed how they never read the POP & SMTP servers properly?

Me : What does it say next to incoming mail?
Cust : popispnamecomau
Me : So there's no dots there?
Cust : Oh.. uh.. yeah... it's pop.ispname.com.au

[guy next to me is listening in]

Me : Ok, I always need you to read those how they appear, because the dots are the most important thing on the internet...

The guy sitting next to me just cracks up and has to put his moron on hold.

Sometimes I love this job.

I have to do that each time. It's my way of grabbing their eyeballs, through the phone, and pointing them at exactly what I want them to look at.

Shit, if you don't read the whole screen to people like it's a fuckin' book they get lost.
