The other day I called up a web-based software company that provides reusable content for one of my clients sites. I asked them why a certain page was showing a login instead of the content. As they tried to track down the problem, the browser that I was using came up, and they said “You have to use IE, Firefox is not supported.” Even though that had nothing to do with the issues I was encountering, and the site works perfectly well in Firefox, they were only willing to help me if I was using the proper browser.

Lame, clearly. When did the business world become so homogenized.
