Shit you have to mail back to a company that doesn't come with a return envelope. Doubly so when the correct return address is not easily found.

Edit: I should also note this company sends me an envelope to send my payment in every month...even though I pay online. Yet when they send me forms that have to be filled out and mailed in and can't be done online, they don't.

I agree.

I also hate companies that send me shit in the mail 20 times a month. Especially when they are comapnies I owe money. Can't they just stop sending me the shit, and take $5 off my bill?

This too. I knew it was late when I didn't pay it on time, you don't have to send me a letter about it every 3-5 days.

People that insist on calling and leaving voicemail, complaining I never call them back, even though I told them "Send me email; I don't check voicemail much at all."
So, here at work we instituted a system that eliminates phones entirely. About a year ago now.

I still get calls every day from the same people, telling them that they need to send an email.

Support Tech A : Hey there, Developer Jorick, I've got this customer who's program is giving them <xyz error>. Usually when this happens, we need to update our license server, but I don't have access. Here's a screenshot of their 45 character license key.

The license key is randomzied garbage (upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, etc).

Developer Jorick : GTFO, go get me something I can copy/paste because I am not sitting here squinting at a 640x480 screenshot trying to decide if something's an uppercase I or a lowercase L.

As a Support Tech, I can assure you, I do have a brain.

However, my life is spent dealing with the lowest scum of the earth capable of operating a PC, and as such, I'm bitter as hell.

Thusly, anything I can do to inconvenience those IT employees that do not directly interface with the End User is high priority.

Only a slightly lesser priority is luring the programmers away from their PCs so I can remote in, turn up the volume and set all of the sounds on their system to "I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORN!"

But the BIGGEST thing I Hate:
I just got a laptop in from a user. The issue? Virus infection and sticky keyboard.

2) The "bosses" that delayed their decision on the project, and also made some "last minute" changes... which derived into a sooner delivery date, with more things than original included!
3) working my ass off, so I can reach this thursday all finished, and be able to take my plane to my bf!

LOL SWINE FLU WORLD IS ENDING LOLOLOLOL

Blame the twitter using idiots of the world spreading missinformation and panic for that.
To be fair though, the WHO (World health Organization) has stated that it will be nearly impossible to control the pandemic. Problem is the incubation period before anyone shows symptoms is ~2 weeks, which is ample time to spread it to immediate family members and close personal contacts (work, neighborhood, etc).

What we really don't want happening is for the virus to mutate again while in this stage. This is made worse by the fact that the carrier(pigs) are the perfect in vivo incubation medium for that to happen. Pigs are carriers of both the avian and human type of the virus. This makes it easier for the viruses to exchange genetic info and mutate into a novel virus which no human has defenses against.

In other words:

REPENT FOR THE END IS NIGH!!11one!!one

I'm working at an internship with a place that acts as an ISP to various smaller communities (1000-15,000 people on average).

One community, a little reserve of ~1500 people up north, can only recieve their connection via satellite, because it would cost over $10million to get any land line broadband in there.
As such, the bit rate is really low, they're spending a mint to get just 2mb (bit, not byte) up/down. Obviously, this means torrenting and gaming is near impossible.

However, we had several people from there complaining all weekend that the internet has been shitty, and we tracked the usage down to massive spikes coming from one access point, the school. Turns out some dumbshit kids left Bittorrent running all god damned weekend, with an average up/down of ~1.8 of the entire communities 2.0mb bandwidth.

Thing is, even after we shut that down and explained this to them, they have been crying non-stop since then that they deserve more bandwidth for free because of it, and they should be able to do whatever they want.
On top of this, the retarded kids got a good number of viruses onto the completely unsecured network in that school, and they want us to fix it for them, because apparently that's our job too, and obviously not the IT guy that the community employs.

I. Fucking. Hate. End. Users.

As a Support Tech, I can assure you, I do have a brain.

But, you're not one of the special little snowflakes that works here.

I've got respect for people who do a tech support job, both internal and external. I've done it, and there were times I intensely disliked it. But, the guys that work here are their own brand of stupid.

Thusly, anything I can do to inconvenience those IT employees that do not directly interface with the End User is high priority.

Only a slightly lesser priority is luring the programmers away from their PCs so I can remote in, turn up the volume and set all of the sounds on their system to "I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORN!"

One word. Headphones. ;)

Whenever I step away from my machine, I lock it. Handily, I'm also an admin on our network here. Only two other people on the network have access high enough to get into my machine on their own.

One time, a few years ago, one of the support guys (who no longer works here) got into a prank war with another of the support guys. Most of what they did was pretty dumb, maybe rating at Carrot Top on the humor-meter. I made some comment about juvenile morons and he threatened to start playing pranks on me.

I told him if he really wanted to try and bring me into his little prank war, I wouldn't prank; instead, I would introduce him to the concept of scorched earth. He didn't understand what I was saying, so I outlined a few things I, as a network admin, could do to his computer and his network/database access, which affects his work output, and consequently his job performance (I didn't start into the other ideas I had about rainbow spray paint on his car (he was seriously phobic about gays)). He dropped the idea pretty quickly.

The fact that my power flickered two nights ago, and now my other laptop refuses to connect to the internet, giving me the amazing "Limited or no connectivity" bullshit. Ipconfig gives me a sweet IP that I have no idea what it's trying to access (and a baller 255.255.0.0 subnet mask), and my router page refuses to give me the DNS information so I can't set up a static IP for it. Fucking fantastic.

Is it trying to use 169.*?

If you need a temp DNS server : 129.65.16.254 and 129.65.21.254

Those are the DNS servers at my old college. Publically accessible and all that, and faster than hitting my ISP's DNS servers.

Yeah... I live in Arizona.. It's faster to hit DNS servers on the central coast of california than it is to hit DNS servers at my friggin cable isp. Go figure.

Is the IP address it's coming up with 169.254.#.# by chance? This means your DNS is fucked, try resetting your router to the original configurations (should hopefully be a recessed button you press with a pen somewhere).

Fuck, too slow.

The retarded thing is, the computer I'm on right now (my primary one) is plugged into the same modem, and is working perfectly wonderful super duper. Shit's retarded.

What kind of router do you have? What's your setup like? modem -->router---->main pc
with the router's wifi connect to the laptop? When you ipconfig/all what is the return if you enable DHCP? If you ping 127.0.0.1, what's the return?
You might need to do a full reset of the router if it's not serving wifi with ip addresses. The flash on the board might have got borked. When is the last time you did a firmware update? I'd recommend doing that after a clean reset and before you setup your static routes.

I used to live near a nuclear power plant (Diablo Nuclear, on the central coast of California). The first time I heard the nuclear warning sirens go off when they were doing a test, I had no idea what was going on; I thought it was some oddball campus fire alarm or something. A couple guys I knew told me what it was, and what way to go if you heard it to avoid fallout... I started having second thoughts about going to school there.

This reminds me of something one of my college roommates was telling. He was from Warner Robins Georgia which is one of the few USAF bases that could service the B2 bombers at that time. Their history teacher was talking to them one time in class and told them not to listen to everyone that says to leave town in the even of nuclear attack, instead drive towards the base. His logic was you want to die in an instant from the blast, not the prolonged death from fallout.

I log it onto their AD Domain and the son of a bitch has a Group Policy no one knows about that automatically installs AV software on any machine connected....

In the next major content patch we will be removing the prismatic quality of the jewelcrafter-only Dragon’s Eye gems.

I used to live near a nuclear power plant (Diablo Nuclear, on the central coast of California). The first time I heard the nuclear warning sirens go off when they were doing a test, I had no idea what was going on; I thought it was some oddball campus fire alarm or something. A couple guys I knew told me what it was, and what way to go if you heard it to avoid fallout... I started having second thoughts about going to school there.

When I was in high school - I went to a school in Florida for a short time.
Crystal River High School.

Crystal River is right next to a nuclear power plant.
The school makes you sign a release form saying you will not blame or sue them should you die / get fucked up while at the school if the power plant gets destroyed or melts down, etc.

Some parents don't seem to understand the fact that their kid isn't a perfect angel. While I give you kudos for being one of the vast majority of parents that understand that little kids are total and utter assholes sometimes, you can't fault the babysitter for not walking up to your face and saying "Goddamn, your kid was a total asshole today".

my car has headers and the wielding broke loose on one of them. =(

ugh jesi, i feel for ya...i was dating a girl that moved to baton rouge from natchitoches...and my car started getting hot, so i had to run the heater to make it back(in the middle of the summer)

fortunately it was on the way back instead of sweating it up on the way to see her.

Yeah, I've been there too, and it's not good.

When I moved to Phoenix, I ended up working in downtown Phoenix, but lived in one of the suburbs. My Toyota Corolla had a problem with overheating in stop and go traffic that I never knew about, since there was never stop and go traffic in San Luis Obispo, CA, and I had to run the heater as well.

Phoenix + summer time + stop and go traffic + heater is a bad situation.

Driving home last night around midnight, my truck says its 92 outside and my asshat drunk friend refuses to roll the window up claiming it feels good outside. I wish I could get drunk enough to not feel temperature.

Thank God for distracting him and then turning on window lock.

I'm right with you on that. I personally love the random voice mails on my work phone of "Call me back right away", and they leave no name, email, phone. I have over 150 people in this office alone, plus 3 satellite offices, that I deal with daily. People and their feeling of being a special snowflake..

450 users, 4 person IT staff. 1 is in the hospital right now, so I'm getting all his work as well. 2 are server administrators... so yeah....

I also love "This is employee number 11111, please call me my cell phone is broken."

First - I have no clue what employee number is what employee. Second, the database of numbers that I have access to is their company provided cell phone number... if it's broken, how can I call them?

So I end up waiting forever for HR to tell me who called and what their home number is, just to call them and have them be pissed I didn't respond quicker...

Because, you know, it'll take an extra 5 minutes to hack the multiplayer function to allow SC2 to connect to a private server or use hamachi. Its going to get pirated, probably even more now that they're so butthurt not including lan and dividing up the game into thirds.

It depends on how it is implemented. If it is just a matchmaking service that does authentication then it sets up a direct connection it will have little effect (except for the pirate/asshats that cheat crowd, for which I have no sympathy). If they plan to host it then LAN parties will be a train wreck as it would require a gigantic connection.

Only players with no or broken Internet access that wish to play locally would be broken. And that's not very common these days.

Diablo 3 is going to be the same. A former co-worker of mine was complaining about this because he said it would ruin things when his brothers come over on holidays if his Internet was down. Of course he couldn't remember the last time his Internet was down.

After further consideration, and after hearing from many players, we are going to change how we approach the 2 vs. 2 arena bracket in Arena Season 7. We still think the 3 vs. 3 and 5 vs. 5 brackets will ultimately offer the best play experience, especially for very competitive gamers for whom game class balance issues are most noticeable. However, we recognize that many players just prefer to play in the 2 vs. 2 bracket and will miss the chance to earn the current season's gear. Therefore, we are going to still allow the 2 vs. 2 bracket to grant access to the current season of gear with three important exceptions: the current season's weapons will not be available for purchase, the current season’s shoulder armor will not be available for purchase, and players will not qualify for the Gladiator title/rewards unless you earn the appropriate rating in the 3 vs. 3 or 5 vs. 5 bracket. We look forward to the changes in the next major content patch and hope to have a great next Arena Season.

God fucking damnit. Smart bastards, now now matter how much people complain they've still already "compromised." Gah. Oh well. I read "Upcoming Arena 2v2 Bracket Changes
" for a moment and actualy smiled. No more pvp for me it seems still.
