It's true about the woman thing I swear it. Not all but there is a huge chunk of women, myself included. I probably wouldn't have been THAT mentally retarded but I do seem to have my days. Anyways, as far as the abuse thing goes, it's just a cycle. Sometimes a cycle hard to break. Maybe that person has kids or some other reason that is important in their mind not to get away. I am sure it has to do with some sort of mental illness. Abuse is a tough nut. And you can't just write it off as being stupid. Maybe they haven't hit their rock bottom yet. As far as the suicide situation, absolutely right. Most people when they get desperate they cry out for help and I suppose that's their way.

I think you gave it away when you said that ‘Idiot’ was a ‘her’ – everybody knows that women and computers don’t get on.. *only kidding*..

Well I’m sure I have better idiot stories, mainly from the Great British Public, but also from the management. My biggest pet hate is people who can’t take any type of control of their own lives and call 999. Take for example the woman who says that she’s been pushed around by her partner and frightened of him – fair enough…? But when it’s the THIRD time this bloody week.. she get’s retraining orders to stop him – and then cancels them.. she gets re-housed by the Council – and then calls him to tell him where she’s gone.. It makes me want to pull my hair out..

OR.. even bigger, pet hate…. People who take an overdose or go onto a big building to kill themselves…. And then call us to say that they’re going to do it, wait for us to turn up and talk them down..!! What a waste of time.. I’ve tried giving them an £80 ticket for wasting Police time, but it got rejected..

Yah! Like "Waiter Rant", but with an IT-esque feel. That should be good for some laughs, at least from people who don't have deal with complete idiots all day. It happens in retail too. There are signs up every where I work indicating the price of the product we sell. Wouldn't you know I STILL get asked the prices of things. I mean these are no small signs either, they are blazing right in your face signs.

Anyway,your post reminds me of when telemarketers call the house, usually I don't let them get half way through their speech before I tell em to get lost. I suppose they are just doing their job but when they constantly ring it gets quite annoying.
