I think that the only ones that are truly rage-worthy are the ones where people are willingly stupid. The ones that just don't listen when you do try to teach them. There are people that would just rather call you(or someone else) up every time they want to do something, and have you(or them) do it, rather than learning for themselves. You can't really blame someone for a lack of experience, but you can blame them for willful ignorance.

It's not that I don't appreciate my mom; I love her very much, but when she calls you out to help her to do something very simple you've shown her fifty times, you'd start to lose patience too; wondering why they "don't learn."

Yes, it's called survival of the fittest, mixed in with a bit of egotism we all have. If stupid people with brawn or money are allowed to fuck up our lives in school or work, whats wrong with extorting them back when they feel the bite?

I don't try to humiliate teachers, but some times it's the only way they learn. Oh and BTW I have so many of these stories. I think I should look to working for a company as I now have 4 years experience and am fed up with retarded teachers who refuse to think for themselves...

IT for medium size company

so we have this database program here, but not all the people who need to use it are in the same building. think of it as they started out in a small building and bought the buildings next door or few doors down. but they still need to be able to access a database that can only be locally connected. so they bought these expensive as fuck 5 grand external antennaes each (had 7 total). so i told them we could use microsoft terminal services and set up users on new server for database. in total i saved them 6 figures a year (fucking storms always took out at least 2 of these antennaes a month during summr). now the only problem is that the goddamn software does not let you pick your printer when you print so you have to have a printer that is capable of printing over terminal services...as the default printer. but everybody has there own goddamn desktop printer that does not let them print to it so now i get calls all the fucking time "i cant print to my computer! we should go back to the antennaes!" NO GODDAMN IT YOU JUST NEED TO CHANGE YOUR DEFAULT PRINTER TO THE ONE THAT WORKS BEFORE YOU LOG ONTO THE TERMINAL SERVER YOU GIANT FUCKING TWAT

another time this lady brings in a pc, tells me she cant look at some website on the internet, like pro bull riding? anyhow just looking at this pc i think its about 2001 or so. it being 2010 i told her it could be that her pc is just too old and cant render some websites correctly. i then spend an hour going over options just for her to pic the last option i offered...cause it was last on my list. it was to just upgrade her pc a bit. ended up charging her 300 to "upgrade" the ram, new video card, new ps, even found old cpu that was better than hers that fit her socket on this pc we had just literally thrown in the garbage that day. she called me up later thanking me cause her website worked again and "her pc is so fast!"

Some people don't want to learn. There's nothing wrong with showing them the shovel, but when they say they don't want it and you keep telling them to use it, when all they ask for is their stick to be fixed, then you should fix the stick. Plus, I know people who are insufferably right like this, and they have no business being in a customer facing position. Keep that autist in the back and let him work. Put a smarmy, smiling used car salesman up front, and call it a day.

>person bring in pc, wants the passwords to be resetted.
>reset passwords for all users to blank. easy job for like 5 minutes of worked charged the minimun 45bucks cause it was company policy.
>days later guy comes in with same pc and cops. he tells us we broke into his pc and wants us arrested, and i get involved.
>his wife suspected him of cheating, and wanted his account hacked so she could find evidence (supposedly there was pics of him and other ladies on the drive)
>cops have to get my details, tell boss i was just doing job but his bitchass makes me responsible

after that we had anybody sign this personal agreement with the store that if we did break passwords for users on pcs we would not be responsible. i never did get another call from that guy but man that shit made me mad

Pretty subjective. As a consultant I always have clients telling me what they want and then we have to sit down together and figure out what they NEED. Clients don't know jack shit, and a lot of the time it's better if you give them their options and then let them make a dumbass decision and come back and pay you again to fix it while saying they're sorry they didn't listen the first time.

I'm sad to say that I'm going to have to learn how to do those things myself, as someone who just learned how awesome Linux can be, before I can teach her all that. But rest assured, I will.

Would a good first step be to read her SICP?

She asked me what hard drive I have, told her I have a 1tb internal hd.

Then she was all serious face and shit and she was really serious that all that data on my drive will slow down my pc and icons on desktop. She fucking works there what the fuck, I told her I doubt that shit really slows down the PC but she believed she is right because she knows something about the things they are selling (ram, video cards, hd's etc).

I will go tomorrow again to buy a video card from there and that bitch says it doesn't matter how good the video card will be because icons on my desktop will slow down my pc.

People who learned to computer in their twenties in a corporate setting grew up on IE4.0, and think that IE6.0SP2 is the internet.

It could be worse though, what if they had grown up with Konqueror? Their computer, the network, the internet... All is the same blue K.

So I'm an Australian browser and frankly; everything I have read is so enraging that I am compelled to share a tale from not too long ago in fact. Now, when I was in my senior years at High School, I carried a laptop with me. No books, not pens nor paper or anything. Just a laptop, mouse and charger in a neat backpack. Now, this all begins with a douche-bag teacher "Daleson".

>On a friday, I am sitting in my final class for the week and he's babling on about something trivial in photoshop.
>Suddently he stands up and points at me, and then asks me to step into the teachers office.
>Anon, you're no longer allowed to bring that laptop with you to this school, the principal has spoken to me about it; yadda yadda. All bullshit of course.
>I rampage down to the office and walk into the principal dicking around on his new iPad 2 which surprise, surprise; my taxes paid for;
>He of course, gets angry and tells me all this bullshit about how his word is gold and how his shit is somehow better then everyone else.
>Go to lawyers on grounds of discrimiantion seeing as how I was singled out when other seniors also carry their laptops around and had not been mentioned and if it had been DET policy, all students would have been notified.

yep, thats mac users alright.

At my old school its pretty tight, you need to login before the computer loads all the programs so you get different software to teachers/admins. You can only edit the stuff in your profile and cant even access C drive. needless to say, you cant install anything.

It was quite ironic how the system organised by a single admin was pretty secure while half the teachers were tech illiterate. there was even a remote desktop program to spy on students playing games.

All drives are accessible with portable installations of 7zip or other file managers.
A simple batch script can be configured to automatically disable monitoring and/or restrictions
Command prompt isn't blocked, it's just locked down. A batch script can unlock that.
There are no restrictions for executables. Just rename your executable to iexplorer.exe, or start it from the web using IE itself.

And much more shit can be done to circumvent the security. It's not hard. It's not even hacking. It's logical thinking. I'm pretty sure, if you could write your own programs, that you could bypass everything easily. The blocks are made to stop students from playing games and visiting FaceBook, not to limit government researchers to only have access to things of their relevance.

Yeah, that's about right.

My story:

One of my friends had a lame computer and 2 spares kicking around. One was a busted gaming computer (fried cpu) with a decent vidya card. The other one had a busted mobo, but good ram and better CPU than the working computer.

Cobble that shit together, rip all hard drives and put in one computer.

Clearly you have never worked any job related to technology. Never had users waste your time so you couldn't get to the real projects you were supposed to be doing. And you're "just IT" so companies act like it's normal for you to work free overtime to get everything done. nope.jpg

and when you're the only one on the team who doesn't show up for the saturday+sunday "work more hours because of poor management" and get the "not a team player" talk. well first you find another job but also you'll rage at users.
