Stupid Bosses

“I worked in a family-owned bar. The Old Man owned the bar, and it was managed (so to speak) by his son. All of the bartenders were female, and most were single parents. When an additional manager (male) was hired, I asked why our senior bartender was not promoted. The Old Man said that “this is a job for the ‘head of household’, not a woman”. When I mentioned that she was the head of her household, he said that “she needs to get herself a man to support her”.

On another occasion, I asked the manager (son of ‘Old Man’) why there were no male bartenders. He said “tits sell drinks”. When I mentioned that we had a large number of female clients, he said “this isn’t about them”.

Every woman on staff wanted to file sexual harassment/discrimination charges, but, being in the small town it was, feared that they would be labeled “troublemakers” and not hired anywhere else.”

Stupid Tech Support

Tech Support: “Ok, now click your left mouse button.”

Customer: (silence) “But I only have one mouse.”

Stupid Tech Support

Tech Support: “Ok, can you see the arrow in the middle of the screen?”

Customer: “Yes.”

Tech Support: “Good! Now trying moving the mouse around. Do you see the arrow moving?”

Customer: “No.”

Tech Support: “Not even a little?”

Customer: “No, not at all.”

I spent several minutes having the user follow the cable from the the mouse to the back of the PC. It was plugged in all the way.

Tech Support: “Ok, try moving it again. Up, down, left, right — anything?”

Customer: “Nope, still nothing.”

Tech Support: “Hmmm, maybe the table is too slippery — why don’t you try rolling the mouse on a book or a piece of paper?”

Customer: “Oh!! On the table!”

Stupid Tech Support

This weekend, my father brought over his new laptop, purchased at a major retailer. It was taking 4-5 minutes to boot into the OS. It was discovered that there were several utilities loading during startup, some of them multiple times. Not wanting to void the support warranty, we called tech support. After my father related the problem, they talked him through removal and unchecking of many of the options. A reboot then took about 2.5 minutes, still quite a long time. When he asked what else could be done, he was told, “Just reboot a few more times. It should get faster as it works in.” We just sat there with our mouths open.
