Stupid Customers

Customer: “I am getting a ‘Page Cannot Be Displayed’ message.”

Tech Support: “Ok, let’s try our home page.”

Customer: “That worked.”

Tech Support: “Ok, let’s try another page like www.cnn.com.”

Customer: “That worked too.”

Tech Support: “I don’t see any problems then.”

Customer: “Well I tried that page I was trying, and it did it again.”

Tech Support: “What’s the site’s address?”

Customer: “(address).com.”

Tech Support: “Hmmm. It looks like the site is down.”

Customer: “Yeah, I know it is. Can you fix it now, please?”

Tech Support: “It’s not one of our sites, so we can’t fix it.”

Customer: “What do you mean you can’t fix it? You are my Internet provider. You should be able to fix it.”

Tech Support: “No, we cannot. We do not own that site.”

Customer: “Let me speak to your supervisor. You’re just stupid and trying to brush me off.”

Stupid CoWorkers

This psycho woman that works in the same area is about to drive me insane. We frequently have suppliers and the upper-echelon of our company in the same area, or within earshot, so I do not understand how she gets away with her crap.

Stupid Bosses

I work for a public college.

My field is highly technical. My immediate supervisor is a former parking attendant. It takes years to gain the knowledge to work in my field. I have no idea how she got the job. Of course, she does not know what the hell she’s supposed to do.

Stupid Bosses

I work for an IT department whose staff has shrunk from 13 to 5 over the last five years. And one of our employees, the person responsbile from frontline helpdesk calls is almost completly worthless. So needless to say, I’m taking on the job responsibilties that used to be performed by many people.
