End users are so gulible

The helpdesk just called me needing a password reset for this enduser, who consistantly locks himself out of his account because of various stupid reasons. Well the helpdesk asked if it can be &quot;hardset&quot; to ID10T4NOW :D (I had given this to the helpdesk once before for a problem user) It appears that I am becoming known down there because the helpdesk credits me with this &quot;password&quot;. (manical laugh)

Oh well, I guess I have to be thankful for the &quot;enduser&quot; because if we all knew computers, then a lot of us would be out of jobs as tech support. ;)

Thats right, a little humility can do us all some good. Until the day comes that we know everything its best just to have a good natured chuckle over what people do.
I guy I used to work with would repsond to people who used to comment that when he told them he worked with computer &quot;Oh, you must be smart&quot; He'd respond with &quot;Not really cause if I was I'd be rich and if I was rich I sure as he11 wouldn't be here now would I&quot;

Damn do gooders! The guy can't remember one single password. He deserves ridicule. It's not like he can't remember to declare his variables in his program and gets an error everytime he compiles it. No, he is too dumb to remember a single password and enter it correctly. I'm sorry, there is little room for humility in that. He's probably the type of person who would leave his thumbprint at home if you were using thumbprint ID for access. To quote Dr. Evil, &quot;Why must I be surrounded by frickin idiots!&quot;.

I kind of like stupid people, they make me feel better about myself for one. Who would flip burgers for us and all the other sundry tasks we would rather not do ourselves? Anyone clean an entire building lately? Skilled labor has its benefits and drawbacks- just like everything else. Still, I like stupid people.
