I work as a consultant for an IT company. We recently got a new connector to our CRM software for our Smart Phones. I was the only consultant in my office that installed the very easy to install software myself. The others had our technicians do it for them. I had quite a few techs come to me and ask how these guys are selling our technology services when they can't even use a cell phone.

As a desktop support analyst in a former life, I was dumbfounded by an employee who called me in to ask this question: "how do you capitalize a letter?"

This is a rant of sorts, skip if you please.

I close home loans. Borrowers do a lot of dumb stuff. First they act like they are reading the documents when they are not. I know where all the fine print is that will scare you. They never ask questions about that stuff, instead they ask about all the stuff in big bold letters. Really? It took you 17 minutes to read a page just to ask me about the bold print at the top?

Next is the guy who puts his pen down after every page. Hey dummy your gonna sign your name about 86 times, do you think you can keep the pen in your hand for a minute? Nah, lets play the pick up sticks game instead.

This one bothers me the most. Burping. I mean come on, you are sitting with an attorney conducting the largest financial transaction of your life and you are gonna start burping? Please, my 5 year knows better than to burp in public and you do it at the closing table? Really? Give me a break! Then they act like it is OK because they say "oh, excuse me." What it snuck up on you?


AGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Back to your regular programming.

how about "can I email to people abroad, and is it more expensive then emailing people short distance?". I got dumb questions like that when I worked at a helpdesk.
