That is why I turn to you, look you in the eyes, and state very clearly, without rancour or emotive emphasis, "Do not roll your eyes at me". That's right. That's what I thought. My "unless you wish this to escalate" is implicit. Now fix it, and while you're at it, fix your miserable, arrogant, halfwit, feeble-minded attitude of "the customer is always wrong" and consider whether the words "customer" and "service" are keywords that you should perhaps place in the "Exclude" section when looking for a job.

Yeaaah...I think they just feel stupid because they can't actually "fix" the problem short of rebooting. I do QA work and it sucks when the only "fix" to a bug is "reboot", "re-install", or "don't do it that way".
