- I was watching Vinnetou: The Last Shot and then I see The native peer died unexpectedly.

Eventually OP creates a ticket system to manage all the incoming support requests. They finally lose it when Mrs. Johnson has somehow run “sudo rm -rf /” for the 6th time this week and has also somehow managed to disable preserve root.
