iamrootIn 1998, while working at a bank, we had a lead developer who was trying to train a hardware guy to be a junior developer. Mr Lead Developer had hadware guy on speakerphone, and had given him all the steps to be successful, but the hardware guy was just not understanding. Finally the lead developer hit the mute button and yelled into the air around him, “Jesus fucking Christ, do I need to follow you to the bathroom to hold your dick for you so you can successfully take a piss, too??!”
I still laugh at that exchange. Especially now that I’m the lead and trying *really hard* to be patient with front line help desk support who will not break from the script and help me help them help me. I still haven’t yelled obscenities in the air; even though I’m working from home, I just don’t trust my mute button that well.
