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.
