Although some may
disagree, the urge to smash people's heads into the
concrete (or some other hard surface) is quite normal. Let me just say, though, that acting upon these urges is usually considered a
Bad Thing.
Take this situation,
for example. My supervisor puts me in front of a computer and is trying to figure out how to get to the
Department of Insurance website. But oh no! The
start up page on
IE is set to something different than hers, and she proceeds to
surf around for 20 minutes totally unable to figure out what in the world she is doing while making up little excuses like "their
Internet is set up all wrong". She finally figures it out - normally she starts from
www.msn.com for some reason and proceeds to type the
URL to the
website she has been searching for in the
Search box simply so she can click on the
stupid little link to it.
Oh. My. God. But that's not the bad part. Then I tell her that she can simply type it up there and she looks at me like I'm a total
moron and simply exclaims, "Oh, their Internet is just
weird." and walks off as if I offended her.
