    You are far braver than me. I don't do hot food well.

    the fact that he said he's still "brewing" made me gag a little

    She's gone but not forgotten.
    I took a call today working the help desk from someone who hasn't had a working scanner since middle of last week. Of course the first thing I ask her is "is it plugged in?" "yes" "ok let's try this then" and I spent a good half hour reloading drivers and the paperport app. I finally asked "are you SURE it's plugged in? Would you look one more time for me?"

    And I got "oh shit".

    Luckily she was super friendly!

    No offense to your taste in food, but that looks disgusting.

    Oh that ain't by far the worst. I worked for a company years ago that made server / desktop based FAX software. We had someone call in that said the person she was trying to fax into kept getting blank pieces of paper at their end.

    Took a little while to figure it out. The stuff she was faxing was confidential so she was folding the page in half, running it though the fax machine, and expected him to just be able to un-fold it and read it.

    Had another one complaining her faxes kept coming in upside down. Never occurred to her the place sending her the faxes was putting them in the machine upside down.

    Another one called and asked if she "really needed a cord hooked to the back of her computer to fax because the computer was in the middle of the room and people would trip over it".

    Yup.

    How do you resist the urge to laugh at people and call them dumbasses?

    I don't. I hit the mute button and call them names. One of these days I'm gonna get that button backwards when I do that. I already made some poor guy listen to me eat a bag of Fritos thinking I was on mute.

    Perhaps on a chicken cheesesteak. I would be willing to try it sometime, though.
