Someone's outlook wasn't connecting to a mail server.

Fair enough, colleague started debugging in the morning!

It worked fine on any client on linux/mac.

After a while the swearing started to come, for some reason outlook thought that the url used for incoming/outcoming email was offline, worked on any other system.

We all left him alone for the rest of the day.

At the end I walked to his desk aan went:
Me: hey man is it working already? *very sweet smile*
Him: *gives a death stare* fucking die 😡

😆😅

For people who understand Dutch, his exact word was: sterf!

@linuxxx dutch is so cute. It's like german spoken by elves.

@Divisionbyzero 😊

@linuxxx the german stranslation would be: "Stirb!"

@linuxxx the entire thing is actually better in Dutch

I laughed so hard imagining his reply 😂😂😂😂😂

@Divisionbyzero Indeed. 😄
I don't think I could take a dutch person seriously when she/he yelled at me.

@theCalcaholic 😞

@linuxxx You're so cute, when you're angry! 😜

@linuxxx better yet; "val dood!" - then you should actually mimic his request as if it were a direct order. (for fun, so he looses the death stare and just raises one eyebrow at ya.)

Outlook ain't no fun, you should ban support for it unless you know what's up..
It's a time killer.. and a bloated system.

Being experienced with reviving the damn data of that thing almost bi-weekly for my boss at a previous job, even after I resigned...
I've felt this guys' sorrow more than enough.

I can still laugh with it now, luckily. When I started laughing at the question, he luckily stopped asking. 🤗
