I remember Keeping Found Things Found project that had a forum dedicated to PIM stories\/mistakes &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.talesofpim.org\/forum\/\">Tales of PIM<\/a>. But it never got a spin and is under maintenance at the moment. Apparently people don&#8217;t want to talk about their PIM problems or they just don&#8217;t think about them. Once I read about how people feel guilty if not knowing something about technology and they rather pretend to know how to operate it than admit the lack of knowledge. I also read about how people feel ashamed at mistakes made even if interface is to blame. I just can&#8217;t remember the sources. Maybe PIM is similar in this respect &#8211; people maybe feel that they are the only ones to blame for mistakes made.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pim.famnit.upr.si\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/teashirt.jpg\" class=\"no_float\" \/><\/p>\n<ul> <\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was searching for a file for about an hour before realising I made a spelling mistake in the file name.
