1. What user behaviour annoys you the most ?
Varies somewhat from day to day, of course. But on the whole, I'd say the "aggressive stupidity" personality wins the prize. If they're just dumb you can tell them what to do and they'll generally obey with bovine complacency, and if they're just aggressive you can usually win through with logic and then they'll comply; but together...bleh.
2. Have you ever had a user do something which has made you question if humanity has a future outside of living in trees and being hunted down by tigers ?
Yes. Constantly. And my money is on the tigers. It never ceases to amaze me that "dummy mode on" isn't just a conceit of the BOFH stories.
3. Favorite role playing game ?
Champions, when I can get it, which ain't often.
4. Favorite drink other than tea ?
Royal Crown Draft cola. Naturally it was EOL'd years ago. For beverages still extant, X Drinx Kosmic Kola. For beverages still extant that my nearest & dearest don't hold interventions on me when I go for it, Boylan's Sugar Cane Cola. And, for beverages I can actually drink on this damn diet, Jeff's Diet Chocolate Soda.
5. To DIY or not to DIY ?
I want to, and am taking baby steps in that direction. Steve throws a kitten fit whenever I pick up a tool, though; he doesn't trust me to do things The Right Way, and only approves projects if I promise to have one of the left-brained boys supervise. It's true that I get impatient, but it's not as if I go around sticking screwdrivers into sockets or something. Hmph.
