I hate people that expect me to do tech support for them over the phone, with completely obscure problems, like I'm some sort of magic wizard who knows whats where on their system. Some people can do it maybe but I need to sit down and piss with stuff.

I much prefer to piss with stuff too, but working at an ISP means you answer more problems with phone calls than keyboards. Most of the time it's just basic stuff anyway, so it's not too hard. But yeah, sometimes even basic problems can turn into a headache in the wrong hands.

Caller: (after I've helped her twice set up her dialup/email) I can't connect to the Internet, it comes up with [some error here]
Me: Ok, have you checked the phone line? Is that plugged into your computer?
Caller: Oh, that's what's wrong! (laugh)
Me: Yeah. (forced laugh, roll eyes)
