Because two of their "techs" are Chinese and barely, BARELY speak any English.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! They just did it again....I'm about to leave work when my phone rings...I pick it up and it's Chen or Chin or Chan or whatever the hell his name is.....I sit there trying to decipher his incomprehensible babble when I just finally give up and ask to speak to his boss....that alone took several minutes....I get him on the phone and he tells me that they are having a problem running a SQL query on one of the servers....I ask him which SQL server it is and he says...."SQL isn't running on it, we want to run the query to see if SQL can be installed on it." WTF?????.....I swear I'm going home and getting sh1tfaced......*&%#%$@ FTards!!!

This is too good :D I can't wait until they erase a config on a switch somewhere and then realize they have no backup...

This one gets a 9.2...

Your rant gets a solid 9.
If you go over there and flog one of them with a bundle of CAT 5 I'll give you a 10 and buy you a drink.

I give the two rants a combination score of 9.3,

breaking something would definately bring you up to a 10,

I hate servicing law firms. They are the biggest tards on the face of the earth. Plus they constantly threaten to sue somebody.

I like the second rant better. 9.7 total. You do not need to break stuff, but it would have gotten you a 10 if you had.

I like seeing if I can get a CD to fly across the server room and hit the misbehaving lunitic. 2 extra points if they have no clue who tossed it.

I *dream* of saying things like this to my customers.

And I want to know: does ANYONE on the other end of the phone understand what a @#$%*ing BACKUP is!?

Wow!

Most impressive rant! Talk about catharsis.. er, some word like that. :)

You should implement a pay schedule that's proportional to their ignorance. IE the higher the ignorance, the more money you make; the extra charges are for "emotional damages".

Good luck :)
