Confessions of a Computer Geek.....

This is just a place where us "Geeks" vent. :lol:
Today's scenario: I have had two people in my office to hound me for over a year regarding why they don't have a CD burner and how important it is that they have one and what they can do with them to make their work life easier, blah, blah blah... So, we purchase one for them. Then they ask me:
"How does it work?" :shock: :? :shock: :? :lol: 8)
 
lol...isn't there a list some place online about crazy tech support questions? best i can remember is "My cup holder won't go in or out of the computer any more. Whats wrong with it? - Ma'am that's your CD player."
 
Yeah, I used to have a whole bunch of links to computer tech jokes but the ones happening in my office began to be much funnier. :lol: :lol:

Here are some great short ones:
Helpdesk: What kind of computer do you have?
Customer: A white one... :roll:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Helpdesk: Click on the 'my computer' icon on to the left of the screen.
Customer: Your left or my left? :roll:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Customer: I have problems printing in red...
Helpdesk: Do you have a color printer?
Customer: Aaaah....................thank you. :roll:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Helpdesk: What's on your monitor now ma'am?
Customer: A teddy bear my boyfriend bought for me in the supermarket. :roll:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Customer: My keyboard is not working anymore.
Helpdesk: Are you sure it's plugged into the computer?
Customer: No. I can't get behind the computer.
Helpdesk: Pick up your keyboard and walk 10 paces back.
Customer: OK
Helpdesk: Did the keyboard come with you?
Customer: Yes
Helpdesk: That means the keyboard is not plugged in. Is there another keyboard?
Customer: Yes, there's another one here. Ah...that one does work! :?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
A customer couldn't get on the internet.
Helpdesk: Are you sure you used the right password?
Customer: Yes I'm sure. I saw my colleague do it.
Helpdesk: Can you tell me what the password was?
Customer: Five stars. :lol: :lol: :lol:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Customer: I have a huge problem. A friend has placed a
screensaver on my computer, but every time I move the
mouse, it disappears! :?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Helpdesk: How may I help you?
Customer: I'm writing my first e-mail.
Helpdesk: OK, and, what seems to be the problem?
Customer: Well, I have the letter a, but how do I get the circle around it? :lol: :lol:
 
Just typical computer user "It's Monday, I can't remember anything from last week" type behavior at work today. :? Some people should not be allowed to have weekends. :roll:
 
:nope: :nope: How is possible that a computer user would have at least ten years experience in opening, creating, saving and editing documents and not have a clue as to where the documents are stored. Then have the audacity to ask me where they are? :? :nope: :nope: Just cracks me up. :lol: :lol:
 
You mean they're *not* stored on paper inside the printer until you request that the printer provide you with that printed copy??? :shock: :shock: :shock: :oops: :oops: :oops: :shock: :shock: :shock:
 
What's with those people Peah? It's easy!!! :roll:

Not to mention how many ways there are to do it... use a lighter as you slowly work your way around the edges, the more labor intensive version of doing the same while going through an entire book of matches, the much easier holding it over the gas range with tongs, the ever simple chucking in the fireplace... sheesh, what's with those people! ;)

ROTF LMAO!! :lol: :lol: :lol: One of these days, I'm going to come into work and I swear someone's going to actually do that!

It's too funny, SD. :lol: Monday mornings are the worse. It's like they forget everything on Monday. :?
 
Well, they do have to find some way to burn the darn things... otherwise they just sit around clogging up the coffe cup holder, right? ;)
 
Ugh! :x How many times can you tell some people! :buttkick: Don't download stuff that's not work related and get an attitude with me when your computer crashes. :evil: :headwall: Ay yi, yi! :roll:

I'm glad I'm at home now. I need a drink. :lol:
