I spent ******ing hours on a premium rate number support line to get through to some Indian bloke who couldn't even speak proper English.
Did he help? No.
In the end I had to reformat the whole hard drive, install Ubuntu, configure the Wifi driver, find out where the DVD player codecs were hidden, read Kernighan and Ritchie, Donald Knuth AND fight off a legal battle with SCO.
Just so I could send a ******ing email.
You know what you IT blokes ought to do?
You ought to stop playing World of Warcraft and w***ing over porn all day and learn how to do your jobs.
C***s!
