Silliest request/comment/statement made by someone......
Basically, this doesnt have to be phone calls, just stupid blonde moments i guess.
Has always caused laughs discussing other peoples stupidity...
Fire away all........
"Ok, thats a soft return you'll need to press SHIFT+ENTER to do that"
"What, do you mean the CTRL key??"
I mean WTF?? AT WHAT POINT IN THAT SENTANCE DID I SAY CTRL????? AAAARRGGHHHH :mad: :mad:

"Could you right click for me..."
"No, thats left click"
"No thats a double left click"
"No thats multiple left clicks"
"How do i right click?"
"Look at the fookin mouse you TW*T.....which button is on the RRRRRIIIIIIIGGGGGGHHHHHHTTTTT?"
"Ah, hehehehe....."
These type of threads... really crack me up... it so reminds me off the time when i was IT support.....
the most annoying ones are... I have just saved a file but I lost it...
It goes:
Her: I have just saved a document and now I cant find it... its lost
Me: Where did you save it?
Her: How the hell am I meant to know.... u work in the IT department... you tell me...
at this point... there are 2 ways out... 1 hang up... 2 hang up....
Or even better.
I've been working on this document all day (ie like 9 hours) and now Word has crashed.
Me: Ok, when was the last time you saved.
Them: I havent yet ........
.................
So you've worked on a document for 9 hours and not saved. I think you deserve to lose it!! :rolleyes:

Or the one:
"Hi, Word has just crashed, has the WHOLE world got a problem? Is the network down?"
"No, my dear, Word has just crashed...."
Also:
"Hi, is there a problem with the network?"
"Yeah, its just gone down, being looked at now"
"How long wil it take?"
At this point i want to say, "oh roughly 23 minutes, 14 seconds and a bag of crisps, you STUPID IDIOT!!! How am i supposed to know!!!! When its fixed!!!!"

Awful....fookin awful. Sick of people who cant be arsed to do anything to help us help them......
Few pointers for people who use PC's.......

Yeah it's been fcuking crazy here today (and the poxy phone is ringing again as I type ... "Good evening IT Support, how can I help". Oh bugger I was supposed to say that not type it :(
We've had about 3 people on the phones (instead of the usual 9-10) and had a constant queue of about 10 calls :(
WAAAA :cry:

The cash, simple. IT is so well paid if you know your stuff.
Yeah but that does include hellish shifts that I have to work. But frankly I prefer the night shifts to the day ones! + It's for a LARGE law firm so Im getting paid London money for working in Colchester which is nice :) want a job? :D

That is good money. Im on slightly less but its no-where near London, so....
The new TQM Manager we have at work needed assistance inserting a floppy disk the other day, she was trying to put it in upside down. How freakin useless :D

Actual call I received from a user a couple of years ago, I've got dozens like this so will post 'em tomorrow when I get into work, this'll do for now tho :D
User : Hello, I'd like report that I've lost my laptop
Me : Wasn't it locked up? (they have chains that hook up through a hole in the side of the laptop and into the desk)
User : Yes, to a chair, that's gone too...

You've never had any as good as our IT Department, we work on Macs right....
If something goes wrong and you call them to sort it out, Their solution is either....
1. Zap the P ram
2. Rebuild the desktop
3. Throw away your prefrences
or if all else fails re format your computer!!!!
I dont think Ive ever known them to actually fix something properly. :rolleyes:
