Title: Tech Calls
Post by Dragnlance on Mar 9^th, 2006, 2:19pm

The lady was using a power strip to plug her computer and other devices into. Windows was completely frozen, and she was unable to shut down the machine by using the power button. She mentioned the power strip, so I told her to flip it off. She said, "Ok, I gave it the finger. I feel better."

`````````````````````````````````````````````

Tech Support: "Ok, ma'am, do you see the button on the right hand side of your mouse?"
Customer: "No, there's a printer and a phone on the right hand side of my mouse."
Hmmmm.... Let's try a different approach.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tech Support: "Click on 'cancel'."
Customer: "'Capital'?"
Tech Support: "'Cancel'!"
Customer: "It only says 'ok' and 'cancel'."

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Customer: "I can't seem to connect to the Internet."
Tech Support: "Ah, right. What operating system are you running?"
Customer: "Netscape."
Tech Support: "No, what version of Windows are you using?"
Customer: "Uhhh...Hewlett Packard?"
Tech Support: "No, Right click on 'My Computer,' and select properties on the menu."
Customer: "Your computer? It's my computer!"
Tech Support: "No sir, I mean the little picture called 'My Computer' on your desktop."
Customer: "I don't see an icon called that on my desktop. I do see one called that on my screen."
Tech Support: "Right, just right click that, and choose Properties from the menu."
Customer: "Right click?"
Tech Support: "Just a moment, sir." (mutes phone) "AAAAAAAARGH."

I was showing a new user how to change her password. She was typing the new one in slowly and said to me, "I hope you're not reading my password." I replied that I was the system administrator and didn't need her password. She replied, "That's good to know. I wouldn't want you accessing my stuff."

A lady struck up a conversation with me on an airplane.

Her: "And where are you going?"
Me: "I'm going to San Francisco to a UNIX convention."
Her: "Eunuchs convention? I didn't know there were that many of you."

Can I go home now??????????

I wonder if they still give starfish the ID ten T error when they send them to the next level? They probably just say this PEBKAC needs a LART!

Problem in the operator headspace.

Loose nut behind the keyboard.

I got lots of calls like that when I worked tech support at Creative Labs. It's a bi+ch trying to fix a computer by remote control when the idiot on the other end doesn't even know how to operate the damned thing. I had people call up all the time who had never used a computer before trying to install parts. AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! That'll make you want to put a gun to your head.
