I don't know if I'm just getting more jaded but people at work who log IT calls seem to either be becoming more lazy or just plain stupider. Is that elitist? Do I have a right to get angry that people complain about lost emails when they can't click on a cross to expand the subfolders? I truly can't tell if I'm just getting tired of dealing with issues that are second nature to me to 'solve', or if others are just not putting enough effort in to solve it themselves. Either way, the knowledge gap is increasing interminably, and I'm more stressed at work than I've ever been.

I get it too. I've lost count of the number of times that people have asked me to double-check I've fixed something on a site for me to say "CTRL + F5"... "Oh yeah that's fixed it, thanks Karl".

Someone asked in the office what LOL stood for. Someone said 'lots of love'. I was so elitist I couldn't even be bothered to correct it, I just had a rather long rant in my head which consisted mainly of 'DIE INTERNET AMATEUR!' on repeat.
