    Just had a worst "user email ever" moment I'm working for a multinational company which beside others services is hosting some sort of online auction. Since i'm one of the 2 persons responsible for the mass email marketing using a non-reply email address i'm also the only person who forwards the mails from people that just reply on this address (nobody else cares) anyway no big deal sometimes. Yet i just received an empty mail with a pdf attached...hmmkay...i opened the pdf (after scanning it (you neve know) and what do i see...a HANDWRITTEN NOTE!! Scanned and converted to pdf and attached to an empty mail WTF¿? written in italian.... with a handwriting that's so horrible that i'm guess the writer is a medic...

    Hmm i wonder why its doing that......ARGHS NO STOP, ROLLBACK ROLLBACK...F*** That's how i learned to "Always Backup"!! Dogs are man's best Friend, Cats are man's adorable little serial killer

    Whilst troubleshooting, I once asked a user for a screen shot. They sent me a jpg that contained a picture they'd obviously taken with a camera of their computer screen. Good times.

      That is what I would do if my keyboard would not work anymore. Anything else than writing the note can be done using the mouse ( writing with the virtual keyboard too, but the note solution is faster).

        I wonder if the user printed a blank document from Word first in order to write on it. :)

              In fact, I keep a document in My Documents folder called just that, 'Blank Document.doc'. What's really odd though is after I open and print it, when I try to close it, I'm prompted to save changes? Go figure, eh. :)

                it seems so, after decryption of the message it seems that the "customer" is complaining that he does not know how our auction website works.....jesus h christ

                It sounds like his problem is a little more fundamental than just a single website...

                      If you're buying.

                      do {
                      In case I can't get up north in time, and the beer is in danger of warming, please drink extra for me.
                      } while(stillAbleToStand);
