The Perfect Dilbert Moment

Out of nowhere I recalled an incident that happened in office nearly 6 years back. Its the perfect dilbert moment ( I am sure scott has this covered already)

The situation: User comes to the cabin (and not cubicle) of the IT manager. Conversation goes like this.

U: Good afternoon sir
M: Good afternoon

U: Sir ek software ka issue resolve karna tha
M: Ok. Why dont you mail me?

U: Sir aap to itne busy ho. Mail check hi nahin karte or reply to bilkul nahin
M: Haan true. To ek kaam karo. Email karo aur phir mujhe phone karo

U: Sir aap phone bhi nahin uthate
M: To voicemail me jane do

U: Sir aap email nahin check karte. Voicemail kaha karoge?
M: Yeh baat bhi sahi hain.

M: To ek kaam karo. Voicemail rakhne ke baad mere cabin me aake batao ki voicemail rakha hain ki email kiya hain ki software issue solve karna hain.

ITS THE PERFECT DILBERT MOMENT.
User: Dilbert
Manager: Mordac (preventer of IT systems)
Passerbys: Wally with coffee in hand ( in fact this managers cabin used to be littered with used cups of tea and his cabin could give any government office a run for its money!!)

Cheers
Rishi.
