Here's another site like that. There's so many stories, you couldn't read them all in a month. http://www.techtales.com

One short sample:

As a customer support coordinator, I sent out this apparently over-qualified MCSE to fix a networked printer problem. He calls back a while later:

Me: What's up?
MCSE: Got the everything solved. Now, it seems this customer has a serious problem with his monitor.
Me: What's the matter?
MCSE: The display goes blank every so often. It's funny - when you touch the mouse, it goes back to normal.
Me: Just make sure nobody heard that and get back here ASAP.

ROFL:
"When I was studying programming, one of my classmates was having serious troubles with his program. When he asked me for help, I leaned over his screen and saw all of his code in comments. The reason: "Well, it compiles much faster that way." "
If you know C (or probably any programming language) you'll understand ;)

Sorry, I had to post one more:



<<
  • Tech Support: &quot;Thank you for calling tech support, how may I help you?&quot;
  • Customer: &quot;Yes, is this the help desk?&quot;
  • Tech Support: &quot;Yes sir, it is; how may I help you?&quot;
  • Customer: (in a very strained and excited voice) &quot;I can't go to the bathroom!&quot;

    Understandably, I was shocked.

  • Tech Support: &quot;Sir...I am not sure what your definition of a help desk is, but I don't believe I am qualified to help you with that problem.&quot;
  • Customer: &quot;You have to. The nearest bathroom is broken, and the toilet is overflowing. I don't know what to do. Send someone up to repair it.&quot;
  • Tech Support: &quot;Sir, we only open do troubleshooting on computers, not bathrooms and toilets.&quot;
  • Customer: &quot;But it's the same thing!&quot;
  • Tech Support: &quot;Um, no it's not.&quot;
  • Customer: &quot;It is too! It's repairing things! Now I want someone up here right now.&quot;
  • Tech Support: &quot;It's two entirely different things. Computers run on electricity and have hundreds of parts. Toilets run on water.&quot;
  • Customer: &quot;It's an emergency! Can you send someone up to fix it?&quot;
  • Tech Support: &quot;Sir, might I suggest that you use another bathroom?&quot;
  • Customer: &quot;AGH! I CAN'T USE ANOTHER BATHROOM! I HAVE TO GO NOW! GET SOMEONE UP HERE NOW!&quot;
    I put him on hold. For about three minutes. I hate to be screamed at.

  • Tech Support: &quot;Sir, I cannot. I have no way to do that. I fix computers. Not toilets.&quot;
  • Customer: (rant, rant, rave, rave)
  • Tech Support: &quot;I'm sorry, I really can't help you.&quot;
  • Customer: &quot;Oh gosh...oh my pants!&quot; (click)

I really don't see the humor here...if we're going to laugh at idiotic morons, then something is really wrong with soceity.
