commenter 1: I once went so far as to write up a specifications list in reply and ask for approval. It was approved, unread. I knew it was unread because I left a ringer in it: “If, while in $MENU-X, $BUTTON is pushed, the device will transform into a pumpkin upon the next midnight.”
commenter 2: Back when printed manuals were still a thing … Our tech support called me (the programmer) with a problem because they couldn’t find the answer in the manual. I could, but I had the electronic version. So, walked over to their station to check the printed version, because you know, printed VS electronic, it could be different, right? The shrink wrap was still on the manual. I picked it up & (gently) placed it on the offender’s key board, while every one in that department watched (cubicles) & yes, entire department had not even opened their copies. My actions were not appreciated. OTOH they had to go through their supervisor for awhile. My boss was perfectly happy with my restraint.
