Stupid Customers

Customer: “One of my friends gave me an ImageWriter printer and this keyboard. He said he gave me all the cables, but I can’t figure out how to connect them. Am I missing something?”

Tech Support: “Well, a computer would help.”

Customer: “You mean this keyboard isn’t a word processor?”

Tech Support: “No ma’am, its just an input device.”

Customer: “Then I need to buy a computer, right?”

Tech Support: “Yes.”

Customer: “Do you think I’ll need a monitor, too?”

Stupid CoWorkers

Nurses are typically highly educated, smart people. However, many of them are clueless when it comes to using a computer.

The best call I got went something like this:

Nurse: My computer won’t work.

Me: Ok, what’s going on with it?

Nurse: The screen is black.

Me: Alright. Is the green light visible on the computer?

Nurse: I don’t see one.

Me: Press the power button and let’s see if anything comes up.

Nurse: Hey! That fixed it. It’s normally on when I get here for my shift

Stupid Customers

Customer: “I am going to shoot everyone at your DSL office. Where are you located at, anyways?”

Tech Support: “Uh, for security purposes, just like this, our company states we cannot reveal our call center’s location.”

Customer: “I am filing a complaint against you with the public utilities commission.”

Tech Support: “You do realize DSL is not a public utility, right?”

Stupid Things Overheard
