Years ago during my first internship in IT I was introduced to funny websites as
Computer stupidities and
Tech tales. Both are filled with horror stories from the IT helpdesk and Tths time I contributed a few :)
Today I discovered a similar website with stories from retail and customer services. I promptly wasted four hours reading this stuff, some of which is quite scary. Really, the level of egocentrism or closed-mindednesz in some people! *shudder* If you're bored, go see
Not always right.

America: where's it's your God-given right to sue anyone or anything for whatever the hell you want, no matter how absurd it is.
God bless the tinfoil hat brigade:
Arthur Firstenberg says he is highly sensitive to certain types of electric fields, including wireless Internet and cell phones.
"I get chest pain and it doesn't go away right away," he said.
Firstenberg and dozens of other electro-sensitive people in Santa Fe claim that putting up Wi-Fi in public places is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Psst, Arthur, this is what we call a somatization disorder.
Sante Fe, the rest of the country is laughing at you.

Irony or stupidity? (Kilala.nl (Cailin Coilleach)) by Cailin Coilleach
I don't know whether it's irony, or just daft old me...
At the office I'm in charge of the duty roster for our team, making sure that all holidays are booked, that all daily tasks gets planned and that everybody knows what they ought to be doing on which days. I even send out an e-mail every Friday, reminding the team of their duties for the next two weeks.
So why is it that I forgot that I'm on stand-by duty this week? XD
My phone was turned off, my laptop's in my drawer at the office and I missed an emergency call at 0600. Luckily it was only a category B server which means that in the end the customer did get what they were paying for ^_^;
Oh dear...
