07/22/2005 Archived Entry: "YOU EARTHLINGS ARE SO STUPID!"
Here is an abridged, summarized version of the support issue I've been working since early this morning:
User: I don't have access to this share on a server in another domain.
Me: I don't control that server, but show me what happens when you try to access it.
Computer: ACCESS DENIED.
User: See?
Me: Sure 'nuff. Let's call an admin over there.
Admin over there: He's on the ACL already.
Me: Check the share permissions.
Admin over there: I don't understand your silly words. He's already on the ACL, I say!
Me: Check the share permissions.
First admin over there: I must now remand this to corporate because I don't understand anything at all. Also, my brain is made of cabbage.
Corporate: He's on the ACL already. Also, this is not our problem. Send this back to Admin Over There.
Me: It's the share permissions.
Second admin over there: He's already on the ACL! I don't know what to do because my brain is also made of cabbage. I can count to five!
Me: Can any of you check the share permissions?
Third admin over there: When I grow up, I want to be a fireman!
Fourth admin over there: Yay fireman! Fire trucks are red! VROOOOOOOOOM!! (makes siren noise)
Third admin over there: (also makes siren noise)
Me: Are any of you understanding the words I am making? S-H-A-R-E P-E-R-M-I-S-S-I-O-N-S.
Fifth admin over there: Obviously, his computer is broken. Have him reboot. I am studying for my MS Office proficiency exam and can't be bothered.
First admin over there: Wait! I am having a rare flash of insight! We should check the share permissions to see if they're in conflict with the NTFS permissions!
Computer: ACCESS GRANTED
First admin over there: Lo, my wisdom hath shown us the way to freedom! Come, kneel before me and drink from my fount of knowledge, that all ignorance may be banished forever!
Me: ...
User: (with sarcasm) Hooray, I can work now. Thank you for taking six hours to fix a problem that Keeper figured out in five minutes.
Second admin over there: Your utterances are as the lowing of barnyard animals, unclean one. Get thee from our sight.
Me: I'll be in the car.

After dealing what that bucket full of idiots, I could have used some drugs!

I've always been of the opinion that the fools who hinder an IT's job are often taking enough drugs for both the annoyer and the annoyee.
