Everything is so serious these days that it is nice to find some levity.  This is good – a company recently tracked aspects of 75,000 tech support calls.  They have some gender-related data (emphasis mine):

Male callers: 64% didn’t bother to read the instruction manual before calling for help.

Female callers: 24% didn’t bother to read the instruction manual before calling for help.

Male callers: 12% just needed to plug in their gear to “resolve their issue”.

Female callers: 7% ditto!

Female callers stayed on the phone with tech support 32% longer than male callers.

66% of tech support operators said they preferred dealing with female clients, anyway.

So according to the first point, 36% of guys did read the instructions?  I am embarrassed that so many did.  Time to check their man cards.
