Idiot of the Day

Guy comes into the chat channel and asks about free webhosting.

No, really.

Now, the way he asked his question, it could have been asking for free turotials about webhosting, but it turned out he wanted free webhosting.

I'm tempted to send him the email addresses of the worst resellers in our customer base.

Especially the one who suckers people in with free webhosting, and then demands payment for backups, services, etc... the small print on that free webhosting contract.

Or wait... can't find them in the accounts list... maybe they got their ass booted for pulling that crap on people.

I kinda liked what they were doing, weeding out the greedy and cheap. Doing the online community a favor in a way.

Runner-up is whoever picked this new phone system.

They're rolling it out right now.

When the phone switch needs to be rebooted or updated, or all the handsets do a diagnostic poll or something, the entire network burps and every desktop loses connection for a minute or three.

I thought that the merger was supposed to shake all the fucksticks loose from the corporate ladder.

I have this theory. The new owners have a parallel second business in the works, and they're trying to shake loose all the customers and employees who don't put up with stupid, half-cocked bullshit.

When they walk out, they come out of the shadows and whisper "Hey, this was just a test... come on over to Other Company we're setting up and we'll do things right over there..."

Nah.
