The other day I was trying to help the maintenance guy at my work fix one of the shop computers that controls a CNC machine. It's been having some software problems. So the maintenance guy is on the phone with the tech and tells me to talk to him since I would be able to understand him better. He tells me I need to make a backup of some folders and email it to him, and to split into smaller files.
He then proceeds to tell me that I need to make a backup of the entire harddrive when everything is working again so that he "doesn't have to deal with our b******t again". So I'm thinking "hmm, this guys acting like a c**k, and I've only been talking to him for 2 minutes".
So I email him the files he needed. Split up into 96 different 1.44mb .rar files. You think he'll find that humorous?

Just tell him you forgot to change the break up size in winrar and that you figured it wouldn't matter to the guy anyways because he should know the rar will automatically go to each file as it extracts.

He just called and said my email bombed their mail server and that I should send it back to him in "smaller file sizes".
