I am fond of loose nut behind the keyboard myself.

PEBKAC - Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

I like the acronym PICNIC = Problem In Chair, Not In Computer.

PEBKAC generates difficult questions, but if I say, 'Wow, that's one PICNIC of a problem!" they just nod slowly and agree with me.

Nope. I'll go take a look sometime. Hmm.

Nice thing about IT terms, most people just think they wouldn't understand if they tried, so you can get away with a lot.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Yep... my favorite though is when people INSIST that I explain to them what is wrong with their computer, and then they tell me they didn't understand what I said. I usually then sum it up with "it's broken."

Almost feels like half the people here have worked in IT at some point.

Yep! We'd talk about being MIS-informed on things. I've never been happy with anyone in "IT", and I don't claim to be an IT professional. I am a security/network/server guy :D:

Or else, as we in Tech Support say: It's a pebcak repair. (Problem exists between chair and keyboard.)

Edit: Scooped, and Zazu's sounds better anyway.
