I snapped.

Uhg, I get the same thing in IT.

You fucking jackasses. I warned you about this 5 years ago. Your entire company is based on a programming language that doesn't work on anything newer than Windows 2000. I told you "Someday your programmer will get hit by a bus, and you are going to be in deep, deep trouble". I told you it many, MANY times. And shit, that programmer died. Now all your old software that is on floss and paperclips is collapsing, and you are STILL trying to get me to support that rather than moving your customers to this new software that you spend a friggin fortune on? I don't care if it's not verified yet, you gotta tell them that the platform died.

But I just smile, and record my time while I die inside. I'm talking hundreds of thousands of dollars that would have been saved by listening to me, maybe closing in on a million. I still tell them what I feel but I can't let them not work. Every minute I let them suffer, I'm also beating myself up trying to figure out how to reroute this.
