On the phone to my bank, I get done what I need to get done,
and say thanks to the call centre girl for her help. She then asked "Is there anything else I can do for you?"

Surely, if there was, I'd have asked her to do it for me BEFORE thanking her and ending the call? I know it's probably in her script and she has to say it but come on...

What's the stupidest question you've been asked recently?

Stupidest reply
to a really hot drunk girl that sold sex toys and underwear, is 13 years younger than me and was hitting on me outrageously was 'no'. This is the second time I've turned down a great opportunity because I judge someone to be too drunk when I am sober. Go figure...

Silly, silly boy.
You should have got her to sign a declaration of lust and then gone for it.

I know!
I know a friend of hers so might just engineer a meeting and make sure I've had a couple this time, then it will be game on.

I work in IT so kill me now
Today I have been called to fix a broken computer that was stuck on the boot screen and just beeping at the guy. Can you fix it and will it take long? He asked. I removed the ring binder he had placed on his keyboard.

Then I had a woman who claims to be missing all her archived emails. She said "I created the personal folder and dragged all the emails in to it" I've checked. She has created two normal folders in my documents and then dragged her emails to god knows where. "Can you restore them from a back up?" she asked. Restore what? There's nothing to restore you muppet!

IT helpdesks seem to attract the attention of the most retarded and incompetent people alive.

Yes.
Though I did just hear about this rather strong contender for that title

If you don't know the answer then you don't know me at all.

Would you like milk in your Americano?
No. That would be a latte or whatever.

Or
"No. Because that would be white coffee. I asked for black coffee. But you didn't understand what I meant until I said 'Americano' because you only seem to speak the language of language of trendy collar-popping fucknuts."

Nice to know someone else feels the frustration.
Whenever I whinge about this I'm told to shut up and stop being pedantic. So not wanting milk in a correctly ordered black coffee is pedantic? Fuck right off!

I get asked that every time.

( Peej, Tue 2 Mar 2010, 14:07, Reply)

I have to say though
If you don't ask all you get is, can I have some milk? Fucking coffee eijits, Don't ask for a black coffee if you don't want it black!

Every fucking morning, without fail, my mrs says:
"are you ok? You seem a bit grumpy?" I've just fucking woken up, and I'm not a morning person. Every day, for four years...
