Jerk #25: "i canot folow direcshuns n its ur fault!!!"

My Alt Codes Page for Symbol Font occasionally earns me a frustrated mail. People can't comprehend that you have to change your font to Symbol in order to use those codes. I anticipated that, so I gave clear directions. I still received whining, and a lot of the time it was abusive (like "ur lt codes really do suck faggot, they r a load of f*%kin $h!t, how the fuck did they let u make that site???"). So I made it even clearer, saying "change your font to Symbol" several times on the page. You can go there and see if you don't believe me that I'm being VERY CLEAR. Anyway. Despite all my efforts to avoid such things, inevitably one or two idiots drop through. Regardless, as you'll see, I try to be nice . . . until they push me too far. Read on.

ur codes are not right

So, even though I knew what she was probably referring to, I played dumb a little, attempting to demand courtesy.

My codes are not right. What are you talking about? If you're talking about the alt code page, or the symbol font alt code page, the problem is on your side, because alt codes work and if they aren't working for you you just don't know what you're doing. I explain how to use them on the page. If you don't understand, you can ask me a question, but don't tell me they're "not right," because that doesn't help me figure out what you're doing wrong.

Look, there's nothing wrong about it. I can do them just fine and so can MOST of the people who have written me to thank me for the page (though there's always a few e-mails from people like you who aren't reading or understanding the directions and think it's my fault). If you'd like to tell me what you're trying to do and where you're hitting trouble, I'll show you what you're doing wrong.

That's because you are not reading the directions on the page that you're talking about. That's exactly what I thought. I will cut and paste the directions for you from that page.


This is my Symbol Alt Code page. To use them, change your font to Symbol, put on the "num lock," and then hold down the alt key and push the combination of numbers indicated.

NOTE: I got this message in my guestbook: "uve created a great wepayge with tons of stuff, but guess wot?! most of it is $#!+.. ur alt code additional alt code thingy is dumb! it dont even work!" If anyone thinks this doesn't work, you are NOT FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS, because it DOES work. Please mail me if you're having trouble figuring it out, it really doesn't help to e-mail me and insult me when you're the one who can't follow directions. If it's not working for you, do what it says above AND CHANGE YOUR FONT TO SYMBOL. CHANGE IT TO SYMBOL. NOW. If you are in an application that doesn't let you change fonts, this will NOT work, you'll end up with the REGULAR ALT CODES that are on that other page. Please don't e-mail me with problems if you haven't tried changing your font to Symbol yet. Thank you.


Does it make sense? I hope so because I don't think I can make it more specific. . . .

::im me::

No, my IMs are off. Sorry.

Yeah, see this never makes any sense to me. I would think before someone would e-mail me asking me for help (or cussing me out, like that one guy), they would read all the stuff on the page to try to figure it out before telling me I did something wrong. I'm a blonde too, by the way. . . .

::and y is ur im turned off ::

Because I am working on things and I don't want to be IMed.

::ur really short and ugly::

I probably shouldn't even reply to you since you're obviously an idiot. Especially after what you pulled yesterday with the b.s. where you wrote to me whining that my alt codes didn't work when you didn't even bother to read the page. But I'll go ahead and favor you with a letter back anyway, because you see I'm just so nice.

Yup, I'm short. Based on an average of American females, I am below the average height. If you're trying to restate a fact to piss me off, you'll have to find something that is actually an insult. "You're short" doesn't bother me, because it is true.

As for ugly—I wouldn't imagine you'd find me particularly attractive, being that it's likely you're a heterosexual female. Beyond that, I'd say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you think I'm ugly you're entitled to your opinion. Though I do have to say that nearly everyone who has told me I am ugly is only saying so because they can't think of anything that's actually a good insult. "Ooh, you're ugly." I care that you think so? Certainly not.

You'll be happy to know that as a result of your rudeness, your communication with me will now serve as a public example of how stupid you are. And now I will end this mail, since attempting to dumb my words down to your level is giving me a headache.

You know, I'm almost ashamed of this one . . . obviously I shouldn't have even started anything with her because she's young and stupid and not even worthy of these replies that sound like I'm getting all worked up. But I have to say that she pushed one of my pet peeve buttons—the one about people who are ignorant through laziness and blame the result on other people for not making it easier—and then she went and insulted me for her own stupidity. I blocked her mail after this, figuring if she was mad enough she'd try again from another address, but she never has. The end.

Comments from others:

Mikey: public education this is a perfect example of how we as a society should rethink a bit more. I think this one did enough to her credit as to the level of stupidity that they have achieved thus far. The rudeness and ignorance again is another treat unfortunate but interesting. And I think the closing comments were perfect......
