I worked for an MSP that supported an all-Mac environment. Got real tired of telling people that their problem was a well-known bug in Mac that Apple has ignored for over 10 years and would probably never be fixed. I had to give that explanation a lot, for many different issues.

At least with Windows people expect problems like that. Mac people refuse to believe anything could possibly be Apple's fault.

I had a Mac user chew me out for putting on a non-Apple mouse that JUST DOESN'T WORK ON MAC!!!1! Found out that he'd used the non-Apple mouse fine for about a month, then changed his desk to one with a glass top, and wasn't using a mousepad. So the laser just shot through the clear glass and did fuck-all. Didn't even have the decency to look abashed when I tossed a magazine down as a mousepad for him until we could get him some artist-approved mousepad bullshit. Fucking ad agencies are full of twats.
