Damnit Greg is calling. He's such a troubleshit. Last time he didn't want to switch to the supported browser because he didn't want a second shortcut on his desktop, even though the webpage he needed literally wouldn't load in the one he had.

troubleshouting

1. A technical support agent may apologize to his co-workers for troubleshouting so loudly after a call with a customer that is hard of hearing.

2. "That last customer was a douchebag. He wouldn't listen to what I was telling him, so the call went from troubleshooting to troubleshouting."

3. "I called tech support but the guy must have been in techsupportistan because we couldn't understand each other. We spent 45 minutes troubleshouting and nothing got resolved."
