Oh yes :mad: :mad:
Or the This-hasn't-worked-instantly-so-I'll-keep-clicking-and-clicking-and-clicking-until-it-does tw@t who ends up opening so many windows or programs that everything locks up and you have to reboot :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
When I was on my placement I used to get sales reps and marketing brand managers coming over to me complaining their mouse wouldn't work - any way, it happens that they just needed cleaning - I showed one once how to do it. Every so often, they would come running over to me so that I could clean it!! :mad: :eek:
It's like, fcuk off yer lazy shi.t, ur on three times what im on, go do it urself! :mad: :mad: :mad:
Another classic is when they complain their computer is running to slow, I go over and find that there are several dozen windows open. Fcuking useless muppets :mad:

No mate, that's not how it works. They're on 3 times what you're on so you do it for them. They didn't get where they are today by cleaning their own mice :D :D :D
They probably employ a little man at home to clean their d!cks for them :D
It unreal though, it was a real shock to the system my placement was. For example, there was this guy (no older than me) who had no qualitications or whatever, however, he had a promotion to sales manager (from chief bean counter). His attitude change was shocking simply because he had the word 'manager' in his job spec.
But saying this, the organisation I worked for was pretty much anti-IT. Getting stuff signed off was like rocking horse sh.it.
The Finance Director for example rang me to say his laptop wasn't working, got there to find out he had forgot his laptop and was just switching the monitor on on top of the docking station!! wtf! And then I asked if he wanted the spare, he said no! What do these people do all day???
Personally, if I can do it myself, I will do it myself.
yeah i get the old, "my mouse is sh1te, can you fix it" and i've shown them all how to bloody clean it, then they still ask, "can you come and wipe my mouses arse please" and its always the women!! and ihate cleaning mice, cuz its so small and fiddly!!
i h8 the double clicking of web links as well.
also what pisses me off is when i get home at gone 6pm sit down to take a break before getting dinner or going to the gym then dad asks me to "help him out" i've had to resort to typing out "how to do" lists in font 16 and bold
but when it goes wrong he blames me, for fiddling with it and breaking it:confused: im only @ home for about 1 waking hour and neva use his computer cuz i have my own! and most of his is mine anyway! not that i'd be breaking it anyway seeing as my job is to fix the bloody things 8:30 to 5:30 monday to bloody friday.
then i go to my girlfriends at the weekend, and i get rooobbbb emmas laptops broken or needs somehting can you have a look at it for her pplllleeeeaaasssseeeeeee.
ahhhhhh one the reasons i go up to see her is to have a break form bloody computers!!!!! i don't drive 80 fing miles to fix her firends and her computer after doing it all bloody week!
since when was it the job of the IT guy to pick up a company car that failed its MOT from the garage!!!:mad: :mad:

Problem is, if you are in support, the rest of the company doesn't treat you like another department, they treat you like you work for them, not with them.
Actually, if any mods read this, could you consider the possibility of having an IT area?
Cheers,
Will
PS just thought of a benefit of an IT area - any bosses out there who query us on why 50% of site internet traffic is going to SXOC.com, we can tell them it's because of the excellent IT technical forum! :D
EDIT: to sort out the rubbish grammar of my initial post!:rolleyes:

Or the ones who insist on typing "www" infront of every web address..... even though you tell them the url. :confused:
Ok I'll add some more rants.
Company has just dished out some awards for people who "gave that little bit extra"
Why wasn't I listed.
This year I have a full Network replacement from 3Com to Cisco.
Have to replace all our Netware Servers and Upgrade from 5 to 6.
Upgrade our Notes Servers from 5 to 6.
Design the Windows XP Build and Roll out using a scripted build.
the last weekend, I gave them an extra 46 hours of their time ;)
Working in support I've had to...
Run (using my legs, not my wheely chair) to the station with a CD that some manager forgot, coz he was too lazy to come back and get it :mad:
Tell a user politely that the reason their PC wouldn't work, was because they'd pulled out the power cable WITH THEIR FOOT :mad:
And countless times where people have moaned that 'it doesn't work' until I calmly walk up and click on the right bl**dy button for them :mad :mad:
...And if I EVER have to clear another printer jam for a department I have nothing to do with.... :mad:
Oh, and asking a woman for her password so I could unlock her PC to install some software she wanted... to discover that it was...
...wait for it...
...'nineinches'
Lol! How embarassed was she! ;) :D
I've had most of the above in the past and this one: A woman phones up and says "none of the numbers on my keyboard work, all that happens is some times the cursor moves about".... thought about it for a bit....
you guessed it...
bloody num lock was off :rolleyes:
i think we sort of people are taken for granted cuz we are such good guys :rolleyes: and can rarely say "no" to a woman:p
i think we should have a union and then we could strike :D lets see ho they will deal with that!!! seeikng as even the firedepartment need it staff, and the government and almost everything or every company will have a requierement for it staff!! whos with me, strike strike strike!!!:D
i get that all the time, and best bit is tofollow

You lot should think yourselves lucky:rolleyes:
I have to teach these idiots all the fooking time:mad:
Me: Yes just click the OK button.
User: Which one is that?
Me: The one with OK written on it.
User: Where is that then?
Me: Right in front of you on the screen. FFS:rolleyes:
And yes these people DO exist...

Try responding to a "My Printer won't work" issue.
Then explain to them that they have to put paper in it. :confused:

I've had that - they seem oblivious to the "Insert A4" message that pops up on the printer panel :confused:

LOL @ Keith's Scoobynet comment :D :D :D
Got called last night, at about 9, by a member of my team. There was a file transfer problem and he couldn't sort it. I talked him through a few things, but everything looked OK. I decided to dial in to check, and couldn't log into my account or the system account on the server in question. I got him to unlock my account and had a look around. There were a shed loads of accounts that were "disusered". I decided to go into work, as there was some frigging update to my laptop choking the phone line. Got in there and sorted all the accounts out and got things working again. Loads of system processes up the spout because the system account was locked out. My suspicion was that somebody tried to hack in.
Got into work this morning and told my boss that I thought somebody had been trying to hack the system, gave him two suspect ip addresses. He then informs me that our security team have 2 consultants checking our security and they were trying to hack loads of boxes yesterday, he only found out just before he went at 6, but he wasn't told what was hit. :mad: :mad: :mad: They could have told us after (was not expecting to be told before) which servers they hit so that we could check them out.
Spoke to the consultants today (they've had a bit of a bollocking) and he says that when they did the same elsewhere and it didn't cause problems, and maybe we should relax the security a bit, FFS:mad: , ****ing ******s. I explained that if it was a real attack it did exactly what I wanted it to do, STOP UNAUTHORIZED PEOPLE GETTING IN, ESPECIALLY USING PASSWORD HACKING TOOLS. Three failed logon attempts and the account is locked out.
At least they didn't get into our VMS boxes, but they got into a few unix boxes, and shedloads of NT. They were using Insight Manager to get info.
Anyway ... :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Sometimes it's not so bad.
Over Chrimbo when I was "On Call" I got a call saying that the one of the Notes Servers wasn't routing mail......
So I called one of the Desktop guys who was in and asked him to reboot it.......... and claimed a days overtime for 5 minutes work :D
