I've been noticing this as a trend of the past few years. It seems as though people do not consider the consequences of their actions before following a course of action.
I had a luser change the properties of his "My Documents" on his machine after I had it configured to maintain a backup of his documents on the server. Once he made the change, it no longer backed up his files to the server. He then proceeded to delete files from his folder weeks later and then called and wanted them restored from back up and was angry that I wasn't backing up his local machine.
Once I pushed him further I found out that he had made the change, and I plainly told him that I cannot be held responsible for his stupidity in making a drastic change to the system without asking what it would affect first.
That is just one of many examples of this same luser. No thought to consequences, just does things willy nilly.
