Or just feel like you are speaking in a completely foreign tongue? Or are people just that damn dumb?

Seriously.

Example one:

Me to coworker: "Please bring in your computer to the office and we'll back it up all your data to a jump drive and format it clean"

What's she do? Brings in her jump drive with no computer.

Example two:
I live in IA and I'm *attempting* to help out a company in Arizona to check the status of an AS400 that got destroyed by Fed Ex on it's way to AZ. I tell the guy in Arizona "I'll call you on Monday to walk you through the setup of the machine"

I call in on Monday and the guy isn't there. He emails me on Wednesday and says "I thought you were going to be here to help me set this up on Monday" Uhhhhh? How does the phrase "I'll call you" turn into "I'll fly 1800 miles and hold your fscking hand"????

Example three:
I have a freight company haul 2 tons worth of office documents from IA to AZ. On the pickup invoice they give me they have office hours and the address of the place in AZ that the boxes are supposed to be shipped to.

I get a call from the AZ office asking WTF the stuff was. I check with the truck driver and he's pissed because he wanted to drop it off on Sunday but didn't have an address. Excuse me? The damned invoice clearly states 9-5 M-F and has the freaking address. How is that MY problem.

Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So many more....🙁 :|

Start using a drawl and adding in 'uall.
 
When I start talking about computers at a techincal level, all of my clients start tuning me out.

And I don't think my wife listens to a word I say.. But I do talk a lot. 🙂
 
I feel you.

Me: "OK, I want you to reboot the computer and tell me when your at the login box."
Them: "OK" *click-click, type, shuffle-click*
wait...
*click-click, type, shuffle-click*
wait...
*click-click, type, shuffle-click*
still waiting.
Me: "Is it done rebooting?"
Them: "Oh, was I supposed to do something?" *click-click, type, shuffle-click*
