It's called, User Error. It's where we send help desk comments from people who lost their passwords, or wandered down an IA dead end, or made their browser crash and can't explain why. We have fun acronyms for all the stupid users out there, too:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>PICNIC:<\/b> Problem In Chair, Not In Computer<\/li>\n<li><b>TSTO:<\/b>\u00a0Too Stupid To Operate<\/li>\n<li><b>EBK:\u00a0<\/b>Error Behind Keyboard<\/li>\n<li><b>EBCAC<\/b>: Error Between Computer And Chair<\/li>\n<li><b>PEBKAC<\/b>: Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair.<\/li>\n<li><b>Layer 8\/9 error:<\/b> There are seven layers in the OSI model of computer networks. The 8th layer is the user.<\/li>\n<li><b>Code 18:<\/b> The problem is located 18 inches away from the monitor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Yeah, I'm laughing too. But then I'm putting my UX hat back on and saying that, funny as it is, it's all complete rubbish. There is no such thing as user error.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Blame it on Your UX Team<\/h3>\n<p>As much as I don't like blaming everything on product design, this one sits squarely in their wheelhouse. The whole reason we have user experience research and design and testing, is to eliminate user error. There are no stupid users, just lazy designers.<\/p>\n<p>If someone is getting lost in your application, it's because you\u00a0didn't flow out the whole application to see that some paths lead to dead ends. If a user quits while onboarding, or answers a question incorrectly, or comes up with a password that doesn't work, it's the UX strategist's error, not the user's.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/keysily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1418622073password-tweet.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13239\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"13239\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/ritsandcompany.com\/1418622073password-tweet\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ritsandcompany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/03\/1418622073password-tweet.jpg?fit=963%2C381&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"963,381\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"\" data-image-title=\"1418622073password-tweet\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ritsandcompany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/03\/1418622073password-tweet.jpg?fit=963%2C381&ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13239 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/keysily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1418622073password-tweet.jpg?resize=963%2C381&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"1418622073password-tweet\" width=\"963\" height=\"381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ritsandcompany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/03\/1418622073password-tweet.jpg?resize=200%2C79&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ritsandcompany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/03\/1418622073password-tweet.jpg?resize=300%2C119&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ritsandcompany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/03\/1418622073password-tweet.jpg?resize=400%2C158&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ritsandcompany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/03\/1418622073password-tweet.jpg?resize=600%2C237&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ritsandcompany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/03\/1418622073password-tweet.jpg?resize=768%2C304&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ritsandcompany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/03\/1418622073password-tweet.jpg?resize=800%2C317&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ritsandcompany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/03\/1418622073password-tweet.jpg?fit=963%2C381&amp;ssl=1 963w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 963px) 100vw, 963px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>If customers can't figure out how to get through your front door into your store to buy stuff, you don't stand at the window saying\u00a0\"Stupid Customer.\"\u00a0You fix the door.
