I spent over an hour on a support call trying to walk an asshole lady through fixing her Adobe Illustrator, for her to stop mid-instructions to say she couldn’t tell me what the status was because her power was out due to a fucking hurricane in her area! 🤦♂️
Side note: that was one of the two times my bosses didn’t get upset at me for telling off a customer.
I'm the family tech support person so I know your pain
It's a pain in the ass when you have a parent who won't even try to learn to do something after trying to teach them and they call you everytime they need to do something
i actually went to school for computers for a bit, got my A+ and net+, but realized i get fucking outraged at my own computer when it has problems, i couldn't imagine the murderfest rampage that might ensue if i had to deal with morons and their bullshit computer problems--glad i didn't pursue it
Yep, that's the correct level of anger, based on empirical evidence. I hate how I fumed at dumb people back in the day.
