I *hate* those reports!!

But they get worse than that: Fairly soon after retaliating to a "Durr...It 
don't work!" email with a nice formal (and painfully friendly) explanation 
of how and why to give me useful reports (which he even acknowledged as 
being a good point), I got from the same damn person (ie *the top guy in 
charge of the project in question!*): "So-and-so person told me that one of 
*their* people told them that the site didn't work when they tried it last 
week." WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?!?!?! Shit like that I'm inclined to just blame 
on user error. I mean, crap, with a report like that, how am I supposed to 
know they spelled the URL right or even had a fucking internet connection at 
all? Or even a damn computer.

I swear, as soon as a computer enters the picture, most people turn shit 
stupid (well, more stupid than usual): I can't imagine that *even these 
people* would go up to an auto mechanic as say "Driving to Detroit didn't 
work!" But that's exactly the crap I have to put up with. And then *I* have 
to (politely!) explain to these shitheads how to not be a moron...only to 
have them come back and pull the same shit two weeks later? Fuck, and people 
wonder why I hate humans.
