Go here to laugh your ass off. :D

Hehe. I think I have seen some of them before. Aren't some of them from jonnyGuru? Didn't he used to post rants about his customers all the time? He had a site about most of the crazy stuff his customers did.

Yes. All of them are from jonnyGURU, thank you very much. Do I have to sign each photo? :p

Why not link to the first page of the Mishaps collection? If you don't, you'll miss this paragraph:

In my years, I have seen some crazy things.

It was only a matter of time before I realized that I would need a camera so I could document what I had seen, because I felt that without the aid of photographs, no one could ever believe that there were people on this Earth that would install CPU's in sockets backwards or ship sticks of RAM in envelopes.

Using a number of gift certificates, rebates and hard earned cash that I had made from collecting aluminum cans out of the recycle bins left at curbside of houses on my block, I bought my first digital camera.

I take my trusty old Olympus D-340R camera with me wherever I go. Pakistan, Zimbabwe, New Zealand... These are all places I have read about, but it seems that my little part of the world called "the tech support office" in Tampa is the magnet for most of the computer mishaps in this world.

<edit> Beer edit. Fingers move but not at the will of the mind. :/ </edit>

Posts like this can really help out some people.

I used to rub it on with my finger until someone posted "how not to do it" :)

One of you guys sent the link of mishap photos to Slashdot and they crashed our server. :(

Gotta love the Slashdot effect. :eek:
