Oh boy...
Please whenever you are on the line with a tech support person do think of them as jackasses. Thier job is the most irritating job on earth. My father got me a job as a tech support guy and I swear there wasnt a level of supidity so high...
Lady: Umm... when I press the power button on my printer it doesnt come on.
Me: Have you tried checking the cables are all secured, ma'am??
Lady: Oh... haha thank you, silly me.
Me: no problem.
I got about 15 calls like that today... I wasnt so friendly after the 10th time. Here's the dumbest call I had today:
Some guy: erm... my monitor had these strange rainbows on the corners. How am I supposed to fix this?
Me: Did you press the "de-magnitize" button?
Some guy: The what now?
Me: The "de-magnitize" button. Its located on the front panel next to the picture controls.
Some guy: Oh... this must be this in my hand..
Me: In your... hand?
Some guy: Yeah, heh... I kinda disassembled the monitor cause I thought it was something wrong with it on the inside.
Me: *slapping my forehead*You should call tech support before you try anything as drastic, sir.
some guy: Yeah, I'll do that in the future.
There is also those horny old ladies that gets turned on by your voice. This is a conversation I had earlier today, that really went like this:
Horny woman: Yes, I need to set up a network though windows xp, how do I do this?
Me: (I state some crap I read out of the manual in front of me)
Horny woman: Your have a real sexy voice.
Me: Thank you for the compliment.
Horny woman: Do you have a special someone in your life?
Me: (thinking: Listen lady I'm a friggin 16 year old boy here, you damn child molester)Sorry, this is a tech support line, feel free to ask me any tech support questions you have.
Horny woman: Well I have a problem with [deleted due to the extreme maturity of the comment].
Me: ....sorry but I have other people on the line. If you dont have any technical questions please hang up.
Horny woman: [another sexual comment deleted]
Me: Is there anything else I can help you with?
Horny woman: Cmon, don't you want to [comment deleted]
Me: I dont have time for this... *click*
And to think that was just my second day... there are many more summer work days like this to come... now I can see how some of these people leave work so stressed. I'd rather be a telemarketer...
