Plankowner Posts: 9165 Location: Upper lefthand corner of the map. | Subject: The making of "Dumber Idiots" This off the geek BBS: =========================================================== Oh fer cryin in the sink! by DesertRat66 2009-10-21 12:08:14 Day 2 of testing (l)user's ability to follow written directions. All the same user. 1st a phone conversation about how to spell the state's name so he can type in the URL. Never mind that it's hyperlinked in the .pdf sent to him. Then 2 phone calls to verify the spelling of his name (for some reason he wasn't spelling it right) The last one he wanted to know which symbol on the keyboard was the "ethics" symbol as the initial default password is: ethics[rest withheld] (Rude_Words) Professors! ======================== Tell him it's a special key combination. by kelli217 2009-10-21 12:25:28 First you press and then release the 'E' key... then 'T'... then 'H'... then 'I'... then 'C'... then 'S'. At this point, you should see a series of dots in the white box next to the word "Password:". There should be exactly 6 dots. Count them carefully. As long as there are 6 dots, we can continue. If there are 5 dots or 7 dots -- or any number of dots other than 6, there was a problem in your typing the special key combination and we will need to start over. The tricky thing with this kind of tech support is that you have to make the level of your explanations just enough lower than their competency level so that the condescension is perceptible but not provable.  ======================== That's what I did by DesertRat66 2009-10-21 12:29:46 Unfortunately since I solved the problem that means that somewhere someone is inventing a dumber idiot. ======================== Mine are still in the early development phases. by Khaar 2009-10-21 13:40:12 I'll let you know when they're dumbed enough for beta testing. (If for every attempt of solving something the universe introduces a new idiot to break it, then if I come up with the ultimate idiot, the universe would solve all evarything, right?) ======================== Loved it.. I needed a good laugh... | ||
