Stupid Guest Tricks

You know I'm actually learning in computer class how to use a forum, a mouse and a keyboard. So by the time I'm done with class I will know how to post useless information on this board.

Are you Japanese?

If, while screwing around with you computer like a jackass, you rotate your monitor display, just suck it up and figure out how to fix it yourself. Under no circumstances should you call the help desk and admit that you were playing around and don't know how to undo what you did.

THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!!!

Yep and it is called a computer.

Oh look a danged pigeon stuck in a room while beating its wings against the windows. So that is how they make the chicken strips.

Speaking of strips has Wallaby finished growing back his fur?

Now everyone knows why I never married. My mother would make the worst mother in law ever and that would be cruel and unusual punishment even for a man who locks his kid and dog in a hot locked car.

Why would anyone who DEMANDS their hair be in a ponytail then rip the rubber band from her Ponytail? Oh look someone she can talk down about.

User: "Hello, I've got a problem with my computer. [Insert problem here]..."

Help Desk Tech: "Okay, just leave everything exactly the way it is, don't touch anything and one of our techs will be there shortly."

User: "While I was trying to leave everything the way it was, I accidentally rebooted!"

Honestly, people, if my users get any dumber this week, I'm going to need another raise. (Or whiskey and a fist fight) :mad:

EDITED TO ADD: Oh my f*cking gawd! I think one of my idiots-er-users just read this over my shoulder as he was sneaking up on me to ask another inane question ("How do I scan this document to my friends email address?")

Waaayyy back when, I was a field engineer for a telephone switch company. Returning from lunch one day I was handed a ticket to fly to Anchorage. I asked what the problem was and was told the local utility company refused to talk about it and wanted on-site support NOW!!!

It's a day's flight to the 49th state and I arrived late in the afternoon. I was met at the airport by one of our less than useful SE's who drove me to the customer's site. We were met by the local utility company's tech, his manager and a senior exec. As soon as I walked in they all started yelling. After they ran out of gas I asked what the problem was. It had to do with a function on the operators console when answering calls on a specific trunk group.

I brought up the trunk group parameters, gave it about ten seconds thought and said, "Let's adjust this software timer."

I made the change and ran some test calls with the operator. The problem was resolved. I looked at the local bozos and told them we could have resolved this over the phone a day ago. They all slunk out with their tales between their legs. Muwaaaahahahahahahahaha.

I was stuck there for a couple of days and ended up meeting Wolfman Jack in the hotel lobby. All is all a successful trip.
