Time IS money.

I ALSO have little to zero patience with support people (caucasian included) who's first response is ALWAYS...

"Have you tried rebooting your computer?"

"Yes."

"Hmmmmmm. That's odd. Can you try rebooting again please." (This will give me time to look up the problem so I don't look stupid, but you don't know that ;)).

That'll get me to their supervisor just as fast as not being able to understand someone.
that's exactly what i'm saying...they just are not cut out for it. I should add that reall i didn't mean caucasion, it's really american born, because it's the accent that's a tip off.

i don't think it's racist at all...to me racist relays hate. there's no hate here, i just want my fucking computer to work i don't care if your from mars...
