Shamefully unhelpful error message from Hertz.com

Number One Server is Down

This sucky error message from Hertz.com violates helpfulness principles. Although the site tells you what the error is, it describes it from internal jargon, does not tell the user how to recover from the error, nor does it provide a way out. Twenty lashes! Let loose the Kraken!

And now, it’s like a month later? The damn Number One Server is STILL down. Maybe he should be demoted to like, Number 12.


And now it's your turn.

Fire your weapon, soldier. Just be careful of friendly fire. NAME & EMAIL required.
