Yes, its not the “common” way to use it. But i think it works well enough, but just to be save i added some annotations.

You are wrong, this template is being used correctly

I actually think this is one of the few times I’ve seen the template used 100% correctly. The original comic had the dog wanting to play fetch, then saying “No ball” when the person tries to get the ball they need to play fetch. The dog then demands fetch again, despite having denied the person what they need to do so.

Regardless of this meme’s accuracy, I do not understand how it misuses the comic template as a user asks for a bug fix, refuses to share the details needed to complete the bug fix, then demands the bug fix once again, just as the dog does with playing fetch and the ball. Could you please explain your thinking?

I can’t help but feel that we’re all waiting for you to get there… but we’re rooting for you!

Your own rationale for why it doesn’t work supports it working… unless you feel info is not a requirement to fix issues.

Me: Contacts tech support while providing detailed information about the issue and what I’ve already tried.

Support: Tells me to try what I’ve already tried without fully reading my ticket.

I hate this, especially when you wait several days for reply.

My recent gem was essentially a reply of “I couldn’t find anything on Google about it” and a “resolved” flag.

You see the problem on my machine, understand it’s significantly affecting the organization, and know who the software vendor is.

Fucking call them.

I understand them. Someone saying they took the troubleshooting steps doesn’t mean they took them.

Also not everyone is on the same technical level. “I pressed the button on the screen. I thought that means the modem is off!”
