Stupid Users

For school, I am required to take an expository writing class, and one day the school server was down, and nobody could log on to the shared hard drive. I told the teacher this, and that half of the computers were logged on to the administrator account and she looked at me with the strangest look ever. You had to be there to see it. She also said that she understood the problem!

I also had a classmate ask me what kind of video card to get for his computer. I asked him what his power supply was, and what expansion slot he had. He looked at me and said, "Yeah, whatever" and walked away.

We Have A Lot Of Them Where I Work; But In Our Case We Call Them Information Techs. They Get There Money For Nothing And There Lunch For Free!!!!!!@!!

Have You Ever Seen Anyone Capitalize Every Word He Types? Is There Really Any Reason For It?

If that's a Pink Floyd reference, good one!

a call from our accounting department:
user - my keyboard is broken and i need a new one.
me - ok, im coming to change it
going 3 floors down, with new kbd in hand, just to see that he's keyboard is half buried under some heavy books and folders and of course, a lots of buttons were pressed at the same time
user - you are God like!
me - just call me Gars
LOL!

and that with the INVALID SYSTEM DISK is just a classic and its my favorite "crash"

the thread is old but is very very good

boy am I glade that I'm going into the medical indestry insed of the computer indestry.

P.S. pardon my spelling

I was talking to my friend and I asked him what his system specs were and he replied," Well, it's a windows XP computer." I asked him him several different ways about his computer components and that's the same answer I got everytime.

well i'm an electrician/et offshore and i get the same old calls day in day out and it ends up being stupid.and i get aggravated but i still have a job.lol

I had a former employee call a tech to make a service call to install a program that was on cd, cost me $75.00, she was fired the minute the tech handed me the bill along with the explanation.

What co you work for?

Capitol < Wasnington D.C... Capital < Upper Case Letter

That was capitalized because it's a title. Well, about the middle third anyway.
"Money For Nothing" = Dire Straits < That was capitalized because it's a proper noun, the name of a band. No, I didn't spell "Pink Floyd" wrong.< Did I dare use an exclamation point?
The song is from "Brothers in Arms", (1987). Oh, I almost forgot, "there", is an adverb. "Their", would be the possessive pronoun.
For the sake of clarification, "They Get (their goes there)> There Money For Nothing And (and there)> There Lunch For Free!!!!!!@!!"

There is this lady and she rings up the computer technician to come fix her computer.The guy arrives and says what is wrong with it,she saids '' The computer wont turn on''. The computer technician is working on the computer checking If anything is broke and he says ''can u please turn the light on''.

The lady ays '' sorry but there is a power cut'' LOL stupid people.

LMAO nurses are the dumbest ppl ever when it comes to Tech stuff..i kno from exp

my mouse don't work.

I used to do local tech support and database admin for a metal stamping company as an intern. One day, a guy calls me up, says "My mouse don't work". I walk over to the next building, where he was, checked the connections, and plugged in the (PS/2) mouse back in. Told the guy to restart his computer. It was magic apparently, from his reaction.

No kidding, two days later, same dude calls me back. "My mouse stopped working again."
"Did you check the connection?"
"Yeah..."
So I went back over to the guy's desk, checked the connection, plugged it back in, and told him to restart. 'Twas magic, methinks.

The dude was the sales manager, and apparently was a furniture salesman at his last job.

(I make mistakes on a regular basis--I'm not really afraid of them, but at least I try to not repeat the same mistake within the span of two days...)

Nothing in comparison to my old boss. One day he called down reporting a problem with his computer, I'd never actually seen it before as I'd never been in his office for long enough. Anyway up I go to take a look and am confronted by an aging keyboard mouse and monitor. So what seems to be the problem I ask? He replies that the window is stuck in the corner or the screen so I proceed to demonstrate as to how to resize it and minimise maximise (amazing revelation etc). It is at that point I make the discovery that it's Windows 95. Then he mentions that it makes a strange buzzing noise on occasions so I have a look around for the tower and can't find it... Oh I think there is a "box of tricks" around the back there he says. So looking around the back of the desk I stumble across an aging yellowing tower coated in dust with an old 28k RS232 modem sitting on top. My boss had no idea that this was actually "the computer". After opening her up and hoovering out a ton of soil the Pentium 75 inside covered by a buzzing clogged up fan was now actually visible.



Someone emailed me this some time ago, apparently it is a real call log. I had to trawl through my emails to find it.

^.^ That was the funniest thing I have read in a long time. Thank you.


Oh, a bunch of kids at school made a .vbs file that shuts down your computer after having two message boxes pop up, and you having to answer them. No one could figure out how to stop it. I walk up and open task manager and end task....

Then they decided to put it in the teachers start up folder...... lets just say they still can't get that sorted out. ;X I plan on telling her how to fix it when I get back from Spring Break........

Someone called the helpdesk today while I was subbing in for the short staffed crew. What do you say when you pick up the phone and someone says..

"Do you know anything about computers?"

I should have hung up and gone back to my forensic analysis.

Just a user.

Man, I'm glad I'm not a tech. You guys need to get a grip, really. How many of you would still have jobs if we could all find the power button?

I think I'll wait a couple of days to ask how to use "search."

Cogito Ergo Sum....Maybe.....

What's a computer...?:suspiciou :haha: :wave:

Hmm.... my teacher is bringing her computer to school soon so I can fix it. I gave her a project on CD, right? Well, as she stated, her computer is possessed and she is afraid it will eat the cd... lol.
