I coax the lazy of working by using pie
I'm never placed in big use
To quit and just add error
Leaves fear on the loose
What am I?

"I coax the lazy of working by using pie. I'm never placed in big use. To quit and just add error....Leaves fear on the loose. What am I?"

Here is my guess at a solution: You are a Pocket Personal Computer.

Explanation:

The puzzle says "what am I?", not "who?". You are an object, not a person.

"Coax" is common shorthand for "coaxial cable connection for the Pocket PC". "Lazy of working" is short for "lazy message evaluation of (net)working", an advanced software pipelining principle for performance enhancement on Pocket PC's.

"pie" = P.I.E. = "Pocket Internet Explorer", which is implemented on Pocket PC's.

"I coax the lazy of working by using pie", translated, becomes "I connect to the Internet, through my coaxial connection, and implement lazy network message evaluation in Pocket Internet Explorer to achieve optimal performance."

"I'm never placed in big use" - of course not. You are a Pocket PC. You are a result of miniaturization.

"To quit and just add error leaves fear on the loose" ? A secondary meaning of the word "fear" is "a cause of trouble or error". To quit a Pocket PC session abruptly can leave data in an inconsistent state and thereby leave "fear" (a cause of error) on the system.
