    I was working for an ISP and sent one of our customers a warning about harassing people via email. He switched to me instead. It escalated up the chain to my manager’s manager, who called the customer’s dad because he was 14. Dad got him under control, because the alternative was to lose his phone service for 12 months.

    A year later, the kid contacted me again to say I should give him a job, because I’m an incompetent fuck and users shouldn’t have to put up with me. Would you be surprised to learn we didn’t hire him?

    Every few years I stalk his blog to see what he’s been up to. There’s usually a couple more arrests to add to the tally, but like always they weren’t his fault, because someone provoked him!
