<< When you want to show someone how to do something, do you always try to take the mouse from the person at the computer?

rofl... I did this to my boss today and he flipped out at me 😀
>>

heh not me, my momma learned me manners good
 


<< Depends on the person I'm trying to help and her/his level of experience with PC's. If they're so incompetent that when you say 'click start' they just stare blankly at you, I ask them 'kindly' to let me handle it. Otherwise I explain it 'calmly' 😉 >>



Me Too!
 
OMG, we all have the same f'ing job. I take the mouse and I only take the chair if the chair at the station right next to the computer is occupied, if not, I take that chair.

I am doing 45 hours a week of this crapola, and the lab I work in has 36 computers and usually there's only 1 or 2 people in here at a time, at the most, I have to lend a hand to someone 2 or 3 times day, otherwise, its all surfing the web or reading a novel.
 
sometimes, it seems like the people want to be led, and they want you to take charge and take control of the mouse.
 
I try not to. But some people are mousing retards. If I let them do it themselves I'll go insane and do something far worse to them than take their mouse.
 
I Grab 1st than make sure everything is perfect than ask whats wrong... Except at work than I Really wish I Could (phone tech support)
