The dumbest human I ever had to deal with.

L

I'm in the process of moving, so before I could I had to get references from the company I'm currently renting my apartment from, so I can give it to my future landlord so they will rent to me.

The references are a .PDF file that I need sent to me the same day or I will miss out on a really really great apartment. I had contacted them the day before and asked to be E-mailed the reference file so I could mail it to the new landlord I'm hoping to rent from.

The E-mail comes the next morning, their guy says in the E-mail that he has attached the .PDF in the mail. Except he had forgotten to, no attachments at all in that mail. So I call them up and after being in queue for 20 minutes I get to talk to the dumbest human being I've ever dealt with.

3 things to keep in mind, it's year 2020, she is a young person and works in an office! so I tell her their guy forgot to attach the file to the E-mail. She clickity clacks on the keyboard and says "no he didn't forget, its right there in the mail!".

So I open my Gmail in another browser just in case and nope! no attachment! so then she says she will E-mail it to me again. When her Email comes she had still not attached the .PDF file to the E-mail, just sent it as a link (url) which wouldn't have been a problem, except I need a username and password to access this file online. A username and a password that only employees of her company get.

So then I tell her this so she E-mails the link to the file to me 6 more times!!!

Now remember I needed this that same day so I'm starting to get desperate... at one point I lost it and asked how can they run an office where no one knows how to attach a file to a E-mail. I even offered to teach her over the phone (click the button that says "attach"!) but she was done with me.

She sent a E-mail to the original guy which had forgotten to attach the file and CCd the E-mail to me, and in it she wrote "user (me) doesn't know how to open an attachment!". :D

Thank god their guy sent me another mail and this time remembered to send the file too!

Did. You. Get. The apartment.

I did and it is fucking great, central location and more importantly away from the fucking tweakers for neighbors (which is why I'm moving).

Did you learn how to open an attachment?

Reminds me of a joke: Why do tweakers like to do it doggie style? So they can both look out the window at the same time.

Did you ever figure out how to open an attachment? ;)

No, I'm clearly too dumb! :D

This reminds me of an admin assistant I had to work with once. I was doing software training at a healthcare system, and employees had to sign in when they came to each class. I would pick up a stack of 15-20 copies every couple weeks, and would email her when I was running low so she could give me more.

So one day, I do this, and her email was, "okay, but next time can you let me know before you totally run out, that way I don't have to re-create the signup sheet from scratch again?" Meaning that she was making a new Word document, with a blank table, EVERY TIME, instead of just printing a saved document.

"user (me) doesn't know how to open an attachment!"

This fills me with RAGE. When stupid people are so stupid they don't realize how stupid they are, and they think when things go wrong it's because someone else is the stupid one.

Dunning-Kruger dude. The only people that think they themselves are super smart and everyone else is really dumb are fucking idiots.

I'm very familiar with Dunning-Kruger, and it's maddening to deal with. What really got me here is the idiot blaming OP and sending that condescending message with the little smiley face. It's not bad enough you have to deal with a moron, but for them to then insult YOU as the stupid one, when you're being polite and not rightfully calling them brain-dead drains on society? That's some balls right there.

Stupidity works both ways. Just reply that you need their password to access the attachment and you'd probably get it.

And pray that she knew it and had sent the correct link.

I would have instantly forwarded this email to her boss and corporate, with an explanation of what they were actually doing. I cannot stand when people do shit like this.

Yeh they clearly lied their way into the job.

That story was HARROWING. I'm glad you got the new place despite their best efforts.

Did you report her to her manager or put in a complaint

I might have if I hadn't gotten that apartment I wanted.

Still shoulda for incompetence so she doesn't fuck over the next person

Kind of irrelevant honestly. You just cannot be allowed to work with computers if you are that unbelievably bad at computers and unwilling to admit you are bad at computers.

There is a saying: you can either carpet the world or you can wear slippers.

If I was trying to right every wrong in the world I wouldn't have time to do anything else. Also what makes you think her boss is any smarter than her or that he woud listen to me?

She is his employee and I'm Schmucky the clown.

I don't see an attachment in this thread. Did you forget to attach it?
