Stupid Users/Stupid Network...

JoeSox

User calls me, "how do I uninstall Media Player" Joe:"Why do you want to uninstall Media player" a@@:"Because I want realplayer to play the files" Joe:"You can do that with in realplayer, Wait I will be right there" Joe walks over pissed off, wishing he add Window 2000 machines and all his users with basic user permissions, and wishing he has gotten management approval for a server. Joe thinking he really inherited a stupid network. Joe looks for realplayer....only finds RealDownload. Joe:"You only installed RealDownload , you don't have RealPlayer." a@@:"Yes I do, I downloaded it" Joe:"No you don't, you downloaded the wrong thing, download Real_Player_ and I might just waste some more of my time and help you":mad::mad::mad: Later,

X| X| So why do I let him install it? He is a good worker. He works on "the front lines" taking orders from our customers at the counter sales. It's no big deal, just a waste of my time b/c of his stupidity:laugh:, which I can live with. Later,

We can argue on the stupidest. I had a manager who would wait to do his taxes until April 14th every year. He would store all of his files on the machine with little paper copies and no backup. On that night he would finally notice his son had filled the drive up with his stupid games and could not load the software. He did make his son put all of the games under a "Games" dirctory. In his anger and hurry he would then jsut go in and delete everything in games via a dos shell (orginally just in dos.) He would then get upset because the directory still showed that ".." file and he would then delete it. I would then get a phone call to fix his machine because it would not boot up any more. This happened for 6 years running untill we parted ways. I do not know who helps him now. ""

I tried many stupid things in DOS, but never that. Michael A. Barnhart wrote: I do not know who helps him now. Probably Jesus, or the American Mental Health Organisation... ;)

Realplayer sucks. X| The only reason I install it is so I can watch .rm files. Brad Jennings "if the golden arches shut shop, where else are the VB people going to get work." - Colin Davies

I can't understand that person. I personally were never in my life able to uninstall Media Player, cause I'm addicted to that really strange animations being displayed while playing music. I think it's kind of hypnosis to me:confused: So I say: Never Uninstall Media Player ... and it's really not been B.Gates instilling that opinion in me...
