At work I was fed up of people not following my reccomendations; so I started being quite direct.
This made effect I already a few sheets of paper on various appliances (we're moving stuff) with that written on it :
"don't touch it or move it if "ntype" is not here"
I too had people excusing themselves through email like "sorry I'm a brainless n00b monkey that don't know how to use a printer/computer/telephone/my left hand" ; wasn't exactly written that but that's what you got calling me at noon to when I have a virtual dinner and moreover TO READ ME BY PHONE the email I sent.
"so blah blah and blah"
"ok you've got questions or you are going to read the email I (I did put an emphase on that) sent ?"
"errm uhhh eeerr"
"ok bye".
