"User Error and related phrases such as PEBKAC (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair) and the complementary PEBCAK (Problem Exists Between Chair and Keyboard), PICNIC (Problem In Chair Not In Computer), PIBCAK (Problem Is Between Chair And Keyboard), POBCAK (Problem Occurs Between Chair And Keyboard), or ID-10T error (Idiot error) are also used as slang in technical circles with similar potentially derogatory meaning.[1][2] This usage implies a lack of computer savvy, asserting that problems arising when using a device are the fault of the user. Critics of the term argue that the problems are caused instead by a device designed in such a way that it induces errors." (wiki)
