A women calls in for technical support. She is unable to browse certain interent sites. She is constantly getting an error message that states, this page cannot be displayed becasue your browser's cookies have not been enabled. So we explained to her that would simply have to enable cookies for her pc and it would work just fine.... She says hold on and then comes back to the phone after a minute or so. "Okay I added some cookies, now what ?"
---She actaully went to her kitchen and grabbed a bag of Chips Ahoy and added some cookies into the cd-rom drive.
I SWEAR THIS IS TRUE AND IT OCCURED 9/3/05

I would love to work on one of these tech support lines, I bet some of the things that people say are beyond belief.

I deal with the public every day at work (albeit a very different 'trade') and some of the things that people say is quite amazing and it takes every ounce of professionalism not to laugh or to say something rather sharp/rude to the caller!!!!!!

In my line of work, I have been asked how to cook a chicken, how long frozen food will last if the electric has gone off and general advice for making credit gas and electric meters last longer when people are a bit short of money. I have been asked for money when it is said that the dog has eaten the DSS cheque/it has accidentally been blown into the fire!!!!! I have been asked to replace stolen Christmas trees/turkeys/presents (around the Christmas season)!!!!!!

Raje's post brought back some quite humourous memories for me, thanks for that!!!!

I felt one more from me would be in good spirits.... now these are not made up, and I am also going to add a post a link for some more funny movies dealing with pc's.

A customer called in and stated that they were going to sue us for damaging thier scanner. It seems that our advice had caused some unreapirable damage to her scanner. She we asked what happened......
Customer...... "Well I called because the computer was acting funny, and the guy on the phone said I needed to run a virus scan and call back when the scan was done....well I scanned the computer and now neither one works.
Tech reply..... the scan didn't work, what antivirus program do you have, and what do you mean by neither one works?
Customer..... what I mean is that the stupid computer broke the scanner when I tried doing the scan like your guy told me to!!!!

---SO THIS GENIUS PERSON ACTUALLY TOOK THIER MONITOR AND DROPED IT ONTO THEIR FLAT BED SCANNER AND PROCEEDED TO PRESS SCAN UNTIL SHE BROKE BOTH SCANNER AND MONITOR.

and for some more movies invlving real dumb customer and techs who helped
