New Category Of End User As Declared By Tech Support At The Venture Technology Center

The Inflexible User
Typically discerned by the whining of comments such as "I can't get any work done because of your software, or your hardware," and typically finish their biased assessments with the flailing their arms in the air, and going out for a smoke outside, because that's really a productive thing to do instead. These users almost always have been written up by their superiors due to time management problems. Dealing with these users usually entails listening to their bantering until they feel they have made their point, crinkle an eyebrow showing that you want them to think you care, and leave. If you stall their work order for long enough, you might be lucky enough not not have to complete it due to their inevitable termination.
