Today's peeve

[ciphergoth]

Todays peeve is idiots who say "I got an error message" but are incapable of even attempting to read the message. Did it cross your mind that the text in that message might be for something, and you might learn something by reading it? If I don't know the error, how can I fix your problem? Or are all error messages just computerese for "SOMETHING FUCKED UP, MAKE SOMEONE ELSE FIX YOUR PROBLEM"?

My pet hate.

I had this little Kiwi "timp" [/Kiwi] trying to tell me she hadn't exceeded her mailbox storgage limit, but instead the "system is faulty". I then advised her to move or delete items, and this would rectify the problem.

Her: "I already deleted over 200 items, and it still won't work".
Me: "Well, it's the size of the items that counts, not the quantity...."
Her: "Yeah, but I only have 3 items, and they are all small".
Me: "Okay...how big are they?"
Her: "Well, I don't know, how do I find that out?"
Me: "......."
Her: "Hello?"
Me: "Yes, I'm here. I'm just struggling to work out how you know the items are small, if you don't know how to find out their size....?"

And the rest, is not worth typing.
