I work on help desk, you stated the problem, i can fucking assume you want me to advise. Fucking christ.

Also i support “financial advisors” so their lives and jobs really do not matter.

    My thought is that “please advise” indicates “what can I do about this?” as opposed to “you fix this for me”.

      Yeah to me that’s “please tell me how to do this myself so I can avoid bugging you about it in the future.”

      there’s pretty much always a 90% chance i will have to fix it for them. cause people can’t fuckin read. The other day i said in the ticket reply “send me a scan of the printer network configuration printout” and she replied with “can i just scan it and send it to you?”

      THE FUCK DID I SAY?

        9 times out of 10 they either don’t know how to do it or send the wrong printout like sending you a printout of printer reads.
