Your Favorite Support Anecdote

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?

    Bull. There's nothing that's impossible to do on Windows. Nor are you any good judge, since you seem adverse to learning newer technologies. I bet building a website on Asp.Net is much easier than one on PHP.

    Gee, I can't imagine why you were banned. Next time you want a new IP just change your MAC and reboot, unless that's to stupid for you.

    For a story all about tech support humour, there sure are a shitload of humourless cocksuckers commenting. The parent post was so obviously a joke that anybody who thought otherwise should simply commit suicide immediately. Fuck you and the other hundred self righteous donkey raping retards.
