Id10T error

Id10T error is a common term used by the IT helpdesk to describe an error on a users confuser.
After repeatedly attempting to help the user fix a confuser glitch, the IT personnel will give up in frustration and claim the error is an “Id 10 T” error and the user needs to contact Microsoft support.

Id10T error

The term that I like to preface my call to IT with when I know the solution is simple or I'm probably doing something wrong...but fuck if I can figure it out.

"Hello, this may or may not be an id10t error. Either way, please help me."

Id10T error

Synonym for PEBKAC, e.g. "The user is being an idiot". Tech-support people passing a problem report to someone higher up the food chain (and presumably better equipped to deal with idiots) may ask the user to convey that there seems to be an I-D-ten-T error. Users never twig.

a user clime that the computer refuse to shutdown .... and there is a message box display "do you want to save changes made to untitled document <yes> <no> "
