Customer:: “A white one.”
2) Customer: “You’ve got to fix my computer. I urgently need to print document, but the computer won’t boot properly.”
Tech Support: “What does it say?”
Customer: “Something about an error and non-system disk.”
Tech Support: “Look at your machine. Is there a floppy inside?”
Customer: “No, but there’s a sticker saying there’s an Intel inside.”
3) Customer care officer:I need a product identification no: right now and may I help u in finding it out?
Cust: sure
CCO: could u left click on start and do u find ‘My Computer’?
Cust: I did left click but how the hell do I find your computer?
4) A plain computer illeterate guy rings tech support to report that his
computer is faulty.
Tech: What’s the problem?
User: There is smoke coming out of the power supply.
Tech: You’ll need a new power supply.
User: No, I don’t! I just need to change the startup files.
Tech: Sir, the power supply is faulty. You’ll need to replace it.
User: No way! Someone told me that I just needed to change the startup and it will fix the problem! All I need is for you to tell me the command.
10 minutes later, the User is still adamant that he is right. The tech is frustrated and fed up.
Tech: Sorry, Sir. We don’t normally tell our customers this, but there is undocumented DOS command that will fix the problem.
User: I knew it!
Tech: Just add the line LOAD NOSMOKE.COM at the end of the CONFIG.SYS. Let me know how it goes.
10 minutes later.
User: It didn’t work. The power supply is still smoking.
Tech: Well, what version of DOS are you using?
User: MS-DOS 6.22.
Tech: That’s your problem there. That version of DOS didn’t come with NOSMOKE. Contact Microsoft and ask them for a patch that will give you the file. Let me know how it goes.
1 hour later.
User: I need a new power supply.
Tech: How did you come to that conclusion?
User: Well, I rang Microsoft and told him about what you said, and he started asking questions about the make of power supply.
Tech: Then what did he say?
User: He told me that my power supply isn’t compatible with NOSMOKE.

Seeing how my mum deals with technology, i believe there are actual customers like that out there. Thank Goodness i’m not a technician, if i was… i would a technician for my head after all that head banging on the keyboard. Oh, and i would also need a new keyboard. XD
BYE!
p.s. To start, click on any key. -> “Where’s the ‘any’ key?”

OMG I’m literally laughing my head off by reading this. I haven’t laughed that loud in weeks. I have to thank you for that. It reminds me of my first days working in the field the summer before my final year of school. I was working for Citi Group in New Brunswick, NJ and my job was to aid in handling internal calls from Citi employees. I had a call one day that I will never forget: The employee stated that there was a problem with his inputs (he was using a Dell Optiplex). It was his 1st week on the job and couldn’t for the life of him figure out that the jacks are color-coordinated on the back of it. He stated to me that he had to use the computer next to his cubicle since he wasn’t able to use his keyboard or mouse. After 20 minutes of explanation, she finally listened to me, went to the back of the desktop, and plugged in the mouse and keyboard. I finally had to ask her: “How long have you been using a PC?” She goes “A week. I’ve been using a mac for 3 years now: Never a PC” I’m sorry, if anyone has been using a mac for that long, he/she can figure out how to properly input devices such as a keyboard and mouse. Granted, it’s not funny like what you put out here, but it just goes to show how much of society hasn’t been brought out to the 21st Century yet. I wouldn’t be surprised if they still have rabbit-ears on their TVs. I suppose they’ll get a HUGE surprise next February, huh?
Appreciate the info guys, thanks
