Today, I was at work doing phone computer support helping a woman with her computer. I asked her to close all her open windows. She deleted all the important company documents in the open folder instead. I got fired because "close windows" and "delete" have become "too technical" for users. FML

The "documents" were basically just data sets pulled from a database stored on a workstation in the office. This workstation is not backed up. Yes, the company is full of morons. No, I'm not fighting it because this was the last straw of many last straws. I don't want to work for these idiots any more.

FYL, a person that doesn't know the difference between 'close' and 'delete' shouldn't be allowed near a computer.

While reading this FML I thought it would end with the woman closing her windows (as in the glassy things you can look through), but this is even worse. What an incredibly stupid human being.

sounds like something my mother would do. except she wouldn't delete her open windows, she would probably go around the house and close all the open windows

Hopefully there will be a "training computer" at some point in the near future. With a HUGE red button with a white X that says CLOSE. And if you delete something, it'll have 2 prompts to delete, which obiously state DELETE, and NOT CLOSE. Too much CAPS but that's how I want the computer to be.
