Never a truer phrase:

"Years ago I ceased being surprised at how much effort people will put into being lazy – or to be more precise – how much effort people will put into avoiding doing something themselves."

Computer User - Not Technical: Am I able to do this. Do I have the right permissions to do it?

Me: Have you tried?

CU-NT: No

Me: Well if you try and it doesn't work, come back to us.

CU-NT: Can you just check?

Me: <no response>

10 minutes later with nothing changed:

CU-NT: It's working now, thanks for your help.
