She couldn't plug in the USB cable because the cable was 'horizontal' and the port was 'vertical'....?!

True story, it was a 15 minute call getting it plugged in!

Like we found it easy to believe? Well it is a lot easier after working in tech support for a few years...

And btw, if I made it up I would have just made it a blonde joke or something.

Bah i got you beat.. no sh(t
back in 99 I was doing tech support for Bell Atlantic Internet solutions...
I had a user that wanted to know how he could put a CD in his cupholder....

the cupholder he was refering to was of course his CD rom..
i crap you not...

then Ive had users that want to know why they dont have a dialtone... well mainly it could be becasue your phone cord is still in the box...

Ive had a user that could not get power on thier PC... (was Unplugged)


and many many more...

Users are freaking dumb...

Shens on #1.

And I think we've all done #3 at some point to some electrical appliance.

It was pretty funny.

Don't they have PS2/Xbox vibrators too? For some of their adult games....

I was referring to him wanting to buy it, not the item itself.

At my other job, there are removable strips of paper that can be written or printed on that state what the buttons do. At various seats there are buttons labeled 'slap customer' or 'shock customer' etc. I think there were some better ones, but I can't think of them off hand.

I remember once years ago, I got a call at the helpdesk and an old woman said she was having a terrible time clicking her mouse.

I asked if the buttons were stuck, and she said no.
I asked if she has a loose connection, once again she said no.
So I told her I would swing by her office and try a new mouse to see if it would work better.

(Please note: this woman is like in her 70's and just got her computer working)

I came into her office and tried to figure out what the problem was as I couldn't find the mouse anywhere. So she says, well, its right here (points to the floor)!!!

I'm like what!? Your not serious are you? The mouse belongs on the desk!!

So she says, I thought the darn thing worked like a sewing machine with the pedals on the floor.

Of course I had to explain to her what century we were in and how to use the mouse properly. Anyway, people do some weird stuff with PC's, no?

I have actually ran into this one myself. But i have seen the pedal that they use on the sewing mahcines and it looks just like a mouse. So i can understand how they got that idea.
