          Sales & Marketing. Not only are they devoid of the normal human intelligence found in most workers, they are arrogant and self-righteous.

            I dont know about the dumbest users, but the most annoying I've ever met are split between Programmers/Developers and Doctors secretaries.

            Typically at one job I was in they employed a bunch of programmers at short notice and high rates to finish a job that was badly behind schedule. These guys thought they ought to be running the network too and spent more time arsing about with 'their' PCs that they did doing any work.
            I had to go down there one night and password protect the Bios just to stop them playing with it. One of them password protected his Bios before he left so I couldnt get in there. He forgot about the 'clear CMOS' jumper, and in addition got a high-level bollocking the next day.

            However, the prize goes to a particularly obnoxious Doctors secretary I had to deal with in a brief sojourn with my local NHS trust.
            She had an HP4L (a right pile of crap) printer attached to her PC, as did the other 3 secretaries in their 20'x20' office. The printer broke badly enough that the maintainance guys had to take it away for a day.
            "Sorry we havent got a spare, but if you can always print on one of the other printers over there." (at least 12 feet away)
            This was not good enough for her. We had to hire a printer at £50 a day for ONE day, just so she wouldnt have to move her backside across the room.

                  My dad used to have two favorite jokes about PHd's etc

                  1) Specialist: Someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing

                  2) Expert: X is an unkown quantity and a spert is a drip under preasure

                  English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

                      Odd choice there.

                      We had a user in the DA's office complain that some software was not working.
                      Her response to HelpDesk's suggested fix was (I am not making this up)
                      "You have to hit the 'Save' button to save your work?
                      I wondered what that was for."

                      Amazing.
