Your Favorite Support Anecdote

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday July 5, 2006 @05:33AM from the ouch-just-plain-ouch dept.

Most of us have had the unfortunate opportunity to have worked tech support at some point, whether it was for a paycheck or for a relative. The Register has offered up a vote for several of their favorite support stories but I'm sure there are many more out there to be had. My favorite horror story was while working a tech support call for a governmental employee, when asked to take her mouse and click on the "start" button all I could hear over the phone is what I later found out was the user banging her mouse against the monitor. What other horror stories have people seen from the trenches?

>WWJD? Well, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't buy an SUV. But if He did, I bet He'd know how to use the turn signal.

Actually, I figure he'd get a pretty big SUV.
One or two SUVs is more fuel efficient for moving him and 12 disciples around, than using a dozen greener vehicles.
Plus he went to alot of places that didn't have paved roads where having off-road capabilities built in might be handy
