I'm doing troubleshooting-y instructions at the moment for a piece of
software that is so simple to use, I feel like using a similar
construction; "Just read what's on the screen and do what it says, you
f***ing idiots!! Who gave you a job anyway?"

I gotta tell you,, "F---ing with the server." Sounds pretty good to me.
Sounds like that's what the guy's going to be doing.

Years ago when I was a programmer I had a brainstorm concerning error
messages. I decided if the user put in the wrong code, an error message
should come up reading "Incorrect Code". If the user made the same
mistake
again, a different message would come up: "Incorrect code. Can't you
f---ing read?"

For some reason my boss wouldn't go for it.
