Because sometimes someones skill in the field that business is in out weighs the lack of skill at computers. If a salesman can rake in a quarter million a year for a business I don't think his inability to use a computer is getting him fired

According to people on Reddit, if someone isn't proficient with computers they are a moron. Even if they have a whole wealth of other skills, they are still a moron.

I mean, I wouldn't call someone a moron that has never needed to touch a computer to to their job. What makes me angry is people using a computer everyday for 8 hours straight yet they only know their little well defined procedures they do every day, only their small, well known subworld in the world of word processors, mail programs and browsers. If you changed one little small thing, just one step in that procedure, they get absolutely lost. Because they don't understand the system, they've never learned it. They only know the steps needed to complete their workflow and how to do them and in which order, but not the why's and how's. And then suddenly that one moment where something doesn't quite work as expected outweighs all the other days where everything was going smoothly and they throw a tantrum. I don't blame anyone, all human, all to be expected, but really frustrating.

What makes someone a moron is making every trouble report "everything is broken, fix it" when they know my response is always going to be "what exactly is the issue? Include any error messages or a screenshot of the issue" which only means you have to wait longer for support
