Ahaaa So true....At my old work we used to have "Case of the Day" this went to the stupidest caller of the day we used to print em up and put them on the wall, hell that always made me feel better about my self..."Client couldn't turn computer on, advised client to push button, computer now turning on"

or when you go onsite and ask the customer to shut the pc down, (while your standing there looking over their shoulder) and they just press the power button.....any IT Spank would just about have a heart attack on the spot, next question "Do you turn you computer off like that every day?" (while holding breath) and they always answer "Yes, why is that?", sometimes you just want to smack em...."no no you should always click start, then shutdown computer, then ok"... "Oh why you ask well other wise you fking profile wont save, the Memory won't write to disk and anything that was open before you pressed the button probally wont work tomorrow when you go to open it, OK"

maybe I got a bit carried away.....

It must suck for you being the answering person but when you call IT Support for Hardware say Compaq or whoever and their helpdesk is in India??? (not that I have a problem with India but more so the fact that I speak English Australian not English Indian and have a problem with companies taking jobs over seas just case its real cheap)

Anyhow and when they answer its like "Hhhhellloo tis ris Renturitome ow can e elp u” This is where I make an effort and ask who it is again? and I get the same thing, or even better they don't understand me, (guys do I talk funny or something?) after that you have to do the old "Mate I can't understand a word your saying is there some one there with out a Heavy accent?" after 15 minutes of miss communicating you get talking to someone who can talk Australian but the stupid basted doesn't know computers.......back to the board, hey maybe that’s why the put em over seas, after the 14th phone call you just couldn't be bothered getting that HDD fixed so fk it just buy new one...

 

No, your not getting carried away Bender, remember, its a Microsoft product

 

I dont get these problems.
I mean everyone I work with knows EXACTLY how to use a computer....Just ask them!!!!!!
Seriously whats the point in having IT staff, if the users think they run the place, and know everything anyway???
