Me: Contacts tech support while providing detailed information about the issue and what I've already tried.

Support: Tells me to try what I've already tried without fully reading my ticket.

I hate this, especially when you wait several days for reply.

I understand them. Someone saying they took the troubleshooting steps doesn’t mean they took them.

Also not everyone is on the same technical level. “I pressed the button on the screen. I thought that means the modem is off!”

My recent gem was essentially a reply of "I couldn't find anything on Google about it" and a "resolved" flag.

You see the problem on my machine, understand it's significantly affecting the organization, and know who the software vendor is.

Fucking call them.
