People are really fucking stupid. I work in IT. I'm a helpdesk tech at an MSP, and I see profound idiocy all day every day. People have no critical thinking skill and seem proud of the fact they don't know shit about anything. People young and old say they're tech illiterate like it's a good thing.
Any sort of thinking, even reading and sharing the fucking error message is a foreign language to these assholes. The error message tells me exactly what to do to help, and you fucking closed it and can't reproduce the error now!? Good luck.
The informatics nurse took a second to register that I was just gonna give her the IP address to remote in. She had this whole spiel ready ready to walk me through finding the device number (that wore off years before I even started). I was like girl I have the network settings open do you just want the IP address I just need you to make the new EPIC update behave let's get to it.
I wish every user was as good as you. The best users that I've encountered are my immediate family. I've trained them up over years and when they need my help, it's not a nightmare lol
