Or having to deal with family tech support, along the lines of "You said you pasted it exactly." "But I did. I've spent hours trying to watch that movie. I don't know why it isn't working." "But you {added a period at the end / didn't include the line wrap / added a space at the beginning / etc}" "Oh. Does that matter" For more joy, imagine debugging such issues over the phone. At least I can say that my Mother (God rest her soul) would never have indulged in such foolery. She would have just called the company to send a technician in to send the email for her.
