Much more expensive though.
TTPYO: The general public. Think I've mentioned it before, but still, they're idiots.
Thanks.
I work in IT and this is one of the most anoying things I get.
"Hi I'm moving office, can some one move my PC for me".
Did you get a carpenter to move your desk? If you move your stereo at home do you get a sound engineer to move it? If you unplug something do you call an electrician to do it? Do you call a plumber to flush your toilet?
Just get it shifted...
I you don't do it then ...
a) they won't be able to find the box it came in
b) they'll likely drop it in transit
c) they will have mislaid the aerial
d) they'll re-connect everything to the wrong sockets
e) it'll never work the same again
It's life (in computing anyway!).

And this is just another pathetic excuse,, grrrrr.
"Yeah I find a general rule is if you find the socket it fits in, it'll work. If it doesn't fit then you've got the wrong socket."
This doesn't annoy me but makes me larf. Buy a bag of milk bottle sweets and insert them upside down between your top lip and your front top teeth. You will probably be able to fit about four in side by side. They make excellent comedy teeth. Take photographs of yourself in the mirror if you are lonely. They make excellent postcards to send elderly relatives with terminal diseases.

I see my job in IT is to help others help them self. I'm all about the 'teaching to fish' rather than a 'giving a fish'. When presented with a problem my first question is, what have you tried so far?
It's a radical approach and sure I'm destined for failure, but if we can weedle out the stupid problems from the real ones then we can all get on with our jobs.
and Hmpppf from me.

You just know that there'll be someone ramming a USB plug into a Firewire port though. 
That today is the 22nd *cries*

Homophobe! 
Don't get me wrong, I've got nothing against homosexuals; I just don't want them near my kids.
etc etc
I've never had anything against homosexuals, except my gun!
