OMG most comp illiterate girl ever

[wasssup]

i carpooled with a girl who didn't know what mp3's were (i started talking about mp3's and she was like "what's a mp3?")...

...a few weeks later she wanted me to buy her an ipod. There were no "benefits" for me, at least until then, so I told her to buy her own ipod.

at one job I had in highschool, I was trying to teach this one woman how to use the computer interface.

me: ...and then you click on..
her: click?
me: yes, with the mouse. *moves mouse and demonstrates*
her: *sees mouse move and the pointer on the screen move* whoa...
her: *gets up and goes into the non-computer room. doesn't come back*

I talked to another co-worker later. apparently the mouse moving on the screen had seriously spooked her.

Once at the help desk I spent a good 2 hours recovering this girl's (she was a senior in college, I was a junior) files from her crashed computer. When I saved her last paper and handed it to her on a disk she said something like "Thank you so much! I'm so happy - If I knew you better I'd kiss you!" Funny thing was we had had a "good night" together when I was a freshman and she was a sophomore ... most of what I remember was that she tasted like cigarettes that night 🙂

i have a "friend" who said the following...(he's person 2)

Person 1: Hey, when I get a laptop for college, if it doesnt have a CD burner, can you put one in for me
Me: Sure
Person 2: Person 1, you dont need a CD burner, windows media player can burn CD's

an argument ensued for approximately 20 minutes

Other memorable quotes from Person 2:
-I was thinkin about getting a Ford Intrepid
-[group talking about guns] Hey, can you get that MP5 at Best Buy?
-Elton John is blind.

Person 2 sounds like a real hardheaded, ignorant tool.

That's not all that illiterate...

The security guard we have had to have me train him on things like how to type a CAPITAL letter...

A support representative friend of mine came up to me one day and said that he thought he had done something wrong. He had been walking a novice Mac user through rebuilding her desktop. She tiresomely questioned every direction the technician made. After half an hour of patiently talking her through what should have been a one minute process, she finally stated, "Oh! Now it says, 'Are you sure you want to rebuild the desktop on the disk XXX?'"

* Tech Support: "Ok--"
* Customer: "Oh, now there's something like a spinning barber pole on the screen."
* Tech Support: "You didn't press 'OK' did you?"
* Customer: "Yes. You said 'OK'."
* Tech Support: (acting alarmed) "I just said 'Ok,' I didn't mean for you to press 'OK'!"
* Customer: (panicking) "What should I do now?"
* Tech Support: "Run! Get out of there! Run! Run!"

The next thing he heard was the phone hitting the floor, the sound of rapidly retreating footsteps, and a door slam. After numerous calls over the course of an hour, the customer finally answered the phone. She had waited outside for an hour -- when the computer didn't explode, she went back inside and unplugged it.

ROFLMAO!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

OMG!!!!! 😉 :laugh:

Me: "Tell me what you did."
Roommate: "I installed the drivers like you said."
Me: "How did you install them?"
Roommate: "I unzipped it, but the game still doesn't work."
Me: "What did you do after you unzipped the drivers?"
Roommate: "Nothing. They're installed now right?"

That isn't that bad.

not as good as when I was working in pc repair and guy sprayed wd-40 inside his computer (WHILE IT WAS ON!) because the fan in the power supply was making noise...

or the guy that mounted his hsf to his athlon backwards with the plastic TIM cover still on

So i currently have a part time job as a Customer service rep for a website. This girl i call says that she's having trouble. She tried to install Flash on her system but nothing happened. I asked her if she can view the flash media and she says she's not sure but she knows the Flash didn't install.

I ask her how she knows this if she hasn't check the site. She says "after i clicked download and install, i didn't see any Flash" :Q

Cliffs:
Girl installs flash and says doesn't work because did not see screen flash.

tell her she must flash you to fix her flash....

This sounds apocryphal, but I swear it's true:

Customer: "I've been connected to the Internet for about ten minutes now, and my computer started smoking about five minutes ago. Is your building on fire?"

Good Ole' TS. Here's one I clearly remember. It was a follow up call and I was trying to get him into his control panel for some reason...

Me: "Sir, Please press your start button"
User: "Computer says going into hibernation"
Me: "It hibernates when you press start button in the lower left hand corner?"
User: "It always has..."
Me: "It shouldn't hibernate when hitting start"

We go back and forth for about 20 minutes. Each time he hits start, it hibernates so I have him turn off his LAPTOP.

Me: "Is the system off yet?"
User: "Yes, you want me to hit the start button?" AHHH! "That's the button I use to start the computer"

I like this one from that website:

Fact: Boston Computer Museum sells chocolate bars shaped like floppy disks.

Fact: Three year old kids see daddy boot his computer using a floppy to play games.

Fact: Computers are warm inside...even some quite expensive computers.

I don't want to talk about it.

I remember a few weeks ago one of your customers was having trouble with one of our software packages. In order to see his error we asked for a screen shot. It was a screen shot alright, he took a picture of the screen with his camera and sent it to us. ?!!?:laugh:
