During my time in a call center people would often call for invoices or messages they received. Most of my work there was reading the thing together with them. Nothing more was necessary, I just read alound their itemized invoice that they had received and it would solve their problem.
Click through pop-ups are even worse in this regard. I myself usually just automatically click No before I understand what just happened.
I worked for a developer at a Web hosting company for a while. I really wish my story about flaming text wasn't true, and that the words weren't "permanent unrecoverable data loss", and the audience wasn't internal support technicians.
Gotta have a way to delete a vps, and there's only so much you can do to get someone to check that they have the right one.
