People are stupid

[dolphinius_rex]

Why do people have to be *so* stupid all the time?

Like when people try to tell me that they have contacts with the official distributor of "brand x media" for all of Canada... when I happen to work for a company which is a distributor of that media, and I happen to know that there is no single Canada only distributor.

Another one I love is when people tell me that they can buy Optodisc DVD+R9's (dual layer DVD+Rs) for $10 CDN from their "official Optodisc distributor"...

For the record, if someone is buying Optodisc in Canada, and I don't know about it, then it isn't that official! Also, Optodisc is *NOT* shipping their DVD+R9's yet... I know this for a fact! they aren't even sending out samples yet. I get advance samples of all their new media, and that ain't one of them!

Also, I really hate it when people tell me they know way more then me with regards to Optical media. Now I'm not saying that some people don't, I'm sure there are a great many people that do, and I have no problem with that. What I *DO* have a problem with is the moron's who figure out how to use DVDInfoPro for the first time, and think they've unlocked the secret of turning lead into gold!! (or leaddata into Pioneer )

Ok, that's enough for now. Anyone else have to deal with a stupid customer or similar? (Hoxlund, I *KNOW* you've got some!)

My customers are usually smart enough to be able to really screw things up... like smart enough to author their own DVDRs, but stupid enough to *NOT* check the option for increased compatability (burns at least 1 GB). Then they come and blame me and the media. Usually I get apoligies when I help them figure out how to use the media correctly.
