**Funny Tech Stories Thread**

[WarmAndSCSI]

Tell 'em here. I know this is PROBABLY a repost. And if the mods lock it, I'll be really pissed (as if they care).

I personally can't think of any my own. ATOT is just REALLLY boring nowadays, so maybe this'll help.

Hey, not funny.

Ok here is one, I work for Dell and the cust calls in wanting some support so I ask for his service tag so I can look up his case history.

I get his info and ask him whats the problem , he starts telling me all this stuff and says he wants a new system. I tell all his problems seem to be software based and that I dont think we could send him a new system.

He gets very upset and says he has had to call in like 10 time in that last month, his system is only a month and a half old.

I tell him to hold on and I will check out his old calls, I look and see we sent him a new system two week ago.

So I tell the cust sir we sent you a new system two weeks ago, which was the last time he called. He tells me no you did not, so I go to airborne.com and look up the tracking number and see the cust had signed for it.

So I tell him Im looking at his signature and he says NO WAY, so I send him the link and he says yes that is my signature.

He says I dont remeber the call or signing for the new system.

So I end the call saying that Dell would like either the system back or the $2000

I got off the phone thinking OMG how could he not remember this.

And hence is why you're a n00b. Please, do "give a sh|t", it makes things better for all of us.

You have never gone to service a PC at a trailer park, where the people there look like they belong undert the trailer instead of in it. The keyboard is covered in crusty "gunk" (I put on gloves just to touch it). The heatsink and fan are covered in tobacco smoke, tar, nicotine, dust, etc. There is a decapitated roach in the PSU fan, stopping it from spinning. The chair reeks of all sorts of bodily odors, the desk is a mud stained piece of 2x12 on milkcrates, with a spare tire as a footstool. The monitor only does 800x600 with 256 colors, and smells like it is about to burn up. When you go to format the hard drive so you can reinstall the OS, the "man" of the house asks you if this will erase his "movies" you say YES, and he threatens to kick your arse if he can't watch them anymore, so you take out a spare HDD and back them up to that. When restoring the the movies, you realize that they all involve crack whores and animals. The mouse only works after banging it on the "desk" a few times. You get a splinter from the "desk". When all is done, you ask for payment and they give you a hard time about how much it costs, so you threaten to turn them into the police for all the illegal movies they have just so you can get paid, then the check they wrote you bounces so bad that you have to re paint the walls. Take them to court, win in court, but when you try and collect again, in cash, they complain about not being able to make lot rent, feed their kids, he is out of work, etc. So you wind up just taking the computer for payment, only to be stuck with it because it is so old no one wants to buy it.

That's a fictional story, right Ulfwald?:Q

 

[amdskip]

Ulfwald's story is true, he's posted it before.

I have serviced PCs in a trailer park, but never in conditions THAT bad.

How'd this thing get raised from the dead?

 

[lastig21]

I wasn't around the office at the time, so I don't know the full story. I do know that my boss pulled a cpu out of our webserver to test his personal machine. When all was said and done, this was all that was left of our server processor.

That site terrifies me. To think there are people out there that bloody stupid is scary. I need to have my aunt go to that site. She wonders why I don't get a job as a tech support person.
