15 Pieces of Flair

October 28, 2005     category: Office Space

We are a Linux admin these days, solving problems for those too stupid to plug in a computer, much less run a website. In our time, we've encountered some truly mind-boggling idiocy. We could be charitable, say that the clueless simply are ignorant, instead of stupid and malicious in that stupidity but we'd be big stinky liars.

Some clues, for the sans-clue:

• You're not receiving your precious email because you're out of disk space. Did we sneak in at night and secretly add files to your account? Yes, because we clearly have little better to do. No, stupid, you didn't empty your email box, did you, therefore the lack of disk space is indeed your fault. We're not sure why you're taking being told this so very personally, though...
• Your domain expired almost two months ago. We told you to hurry up and renew before it went into the evil redemption period, and cost you another 150 clams to renew, yet you still waited five more days to pay the invoice, then chose a payment method that required a clearing period with your bank. This is our fault how, exactly?

We are more than glad to answer questions. Getting the morans to actually ask them is another storybook.
