Error ID10T (A
Leet spelling of "Idiot" Pronounced "AI-
DEE-TEN-TEE") is a common error reflected in the IT world. It usually involves blaming
computer manufactures or others for errors and conditions beyond the company's own control and is a simply nicer way to describe user error without demeaning them. Unless they understand the subtle reference.
What commonly causes this error can range from simply failing to turn the
computer on or plugging it in, to deleting an important system file, and oftentimes due to downloading malware and viruses without knowledge of what comes in packaged downloads. (Smileys, Signatures, Email Backgrounds...etc.)
IT Guy: Help Desk, how can I assist you?
Person: Yes, I received an email saying I should delete a file call "rundll32" from my
windows directory because it's a virus. Should I be worried? Because my
friends have it too. My
computer wont start anymore.
IT Guy: Don't panic, its just User Error #ID10T.
Person: ID10T??
IT Guy: Yeah, a faulty condition exists between the logic processing unit and the operational control modules.

coffee all over my laptop and it was fine until I put it in the sink to wash it! Now it doesn't even turn on!!!
