Bitchslap-over-voice
Quite a few people from my team, rather bored and frustrated from the amount of stupidity from our customers one evening, hit upon a new Internet standard: bitchslap-over-voice protocol (BoVP).
Imagine: a clueless customer who can't understand what you're trying to tell them, you could just hit a button on your console or your telephone, and a virtual hand will rise out of the telephone and give them an encouraging slap to the face!
Example:
Me: "Is your Start Menu one or two columns wide?"
Them: "Er, two."
Me: "Okay, so halfway down the second column, you see Connect to......."
Them: "I can't find it, it's not there."
Me: "Keep looking, it should be there."
Them: *annoyed* "It's not there, okay?"
Me: "Read out the icons for me please?"
Them: *more annoyed* "My Documents, My Recent Documents, My Music, My Computer, My Network Places, Control Panel, Connect to.....oh."
Me: *mutter* "BoVP"
I wonder if the RFC board would consider it? :)
