My greatest wish at this moment. And you know, I don’t really blame the dimwit at the other end of the line. He has to spend his days talking to people who don’t know gigabytes from thai bites. Now I’m annoyed (and hungry....man I can’t wait for supper) at the general technical incompetence of our society. If you use something for several hours a day, learn the basics of how it works. End Rant.

Thai bites > Gigabytes

I hung out with a dude that worked at a call center for Verizon. The shit he had to deal with was nuts. About 25% of his calls were people wanting random shit the sales guy put on their plan without their permission removed. He told me that was also the most difficult problem to deal with. He said another large portion of the calls were people who didn’t understand what a warranty meant and that they don’t just last forever. People are really dumb.
And then there were the people who would be flipping out over the problem. Like a guy who knew that his wife was going to find out hwhat had two cellphones. And the other one wasn’t for work...

What about Hot Pockets and pizza rolls? (Can you tell that I have 3 boys in the house?)

I’d trade at least 500 Gigs for a box of thai bites right now.

I was troubleshooting some stupid latency on my network a while back. I was getting like 200 mms response time and like every third packet was dropped. I pay for 50 mbps. So I call my ISP and had the usual spiel. I was about to drop credentials and crap on them. Then I realized it might be my powerline LAN. Sure enough different jack solved it. Glad I wasn’t a jerk.

Near as I can tell, chicken + thai sauce+ magic.

XKCD always gets a star from me. Also, I know that feel.
