Tech support guys have to deal with lot of silly customers. Here are some true conversations recorded to prove that. "Customer: I have problems printing in redÃ¢â;¬Â¦ Helpdesk: Do you have a color printer? Customer: No."

  If I hadn't been there I would not have believed it.
  A woman in our office called Tech Support because she could not get her coffee holder to come out. When he arrived, sure enough, pried loose with a wooden stick, her CD ROM drive ejected, and inside was a coffee stained CD. She would eject it and put her cup in it. Apparently whatever she put on it last caused it to stick.
  She filled out his evaluation form that he was quick, knew what he was doing, very well satisfied with his service. He never did tell her what it was. She didn't know, didn't care, never used it.
  The look on his face was priceless but he turned away from her and was looking at me when he did, this grin on his face...

    Sounds like she could use one of Bill Engvall signs.

I've got the perfect solution for these technical support people here with me, some sound chips we had made in the past for a greeting card company. The I.C. states "Frankly my dear I don't give a Damn" (it was from the original recording of Humphrey Bogards famous quote). The support staff could simply ask/say Madam/Sir may I put hold for a minute, playing this quote and walk over for another coffee/coke or water.

  Yeah, except when you laughed they'd be trying to get you fired.
  I remember coming in one morning and our email was down.
  When I asked the Administrator promptly and indignantly looked at me, "did you get my email...I said our email server was down!"
  I guess i R or WAS stupid? (lol)

Cool. I love the one of "antivirus program"...Thanks for sharing. ( It would be very amusing to see a film with Mr BEAN as a tech support!)

When I first started working on a computer, I felt like a complete moron. Now I don't feel so bad. I was never as bad as the examples given.

I have dealt with tech support recently (the online HP support) The guy at Staples says it's all computer generated responses. I had to contact them 3 times for the same problem. I feel sorry for me, not them!

  You are right, in some cases, tech support types in the problem and a help screen comes up with possible solutions to recite back to the customer. But they are not always fullproof. I was having troubling configuring my Mac for cable internet and tech support first started by asking me to click on the start button (and yes I told him several times before that I owned a Mac, and start buttons don't exist on Macs) ;0

Several years ago, we bought our mother a computer for her 75th birthday so we could email pics of the kids to FL. She was having a terrible time and I was trying to help her over the phone to open an email. I said to her, tell me what your screen looks like right now. She said, "Do I need to turn on my computer?"
I have a priceless computer of her boyfriend sitting at her computer with a card game on, hand on the mouse and sound asleep!
