It took me rather longer to get into XKCD than it probably should have done, but these days it rarely fails to raise a smile.

Today, though, today is genius - a very familiar situation. :-)

In general, yes, they do get a bit of a pass. But he's not the world's best pupil ...

That is the frustrating bit, isn't it? It's not that they don't know, but that they don't listen when you tell them.

And I suspect it's a bit different if you have to do it every time you visit, as opposed to being on the spot to sort things out as you go.

It's not the "every time I visit" I mind, it's the "every time I ring" ...

Ah..I see. Yes, that could get to be a little much.

I must be fair, and say that it isn't really every time. It just seems like it ...
