- windsurfer 17y agoMany system administrators are stubborn out of nature. Yes, especially at my university it would seem. No one is able to log into 10% of the lab computers since these computers display a "you are not authorized" message. I tried reporting this to the administrator twice and each time he said that I couldn't have been a real student, and I must have snuck into the lab some how. He refuses to deal with the real problem.

- eli 17y agoReminds me of how I every time I call Verizon they insist I'm not actually a customer. I try explaining that I'm holding the bill and, in fact, am speaking to them on the Verizon line in question, but typically they have to call me back while they try to "find" my account in the computer. I shudder to think of what their backend database looks like.
