Funny one. It reminded me of my days as a techie where the user would do something that was mindless and yell at you when they asked for an explanation and you were caught in trying to explain in a diplomatic way about a idiotic episode.

Many years ago, I was working on a terminal and a lady was trying to call home using the keypad on the computer. She just upset and asked me to tell why the phone would not work.

I slowly looked at the keyboard and slowly looked at the phone dialing buttons several times hoping she get the hint. When she got more upset and complained I wasn't answering her, she force me to say, "it would help if you used the telephone keypad".

She got embarrassed so much that her face turned every color of the rainbow and didn't say anything to me.
