This ought to make you
feel better about your
computer skills!
Tech support: What kind
of computer do you have?
Customer: A white one....
Tech support: Click on
the 'my computer' icon on to
the left of the screen.
Customer: Your left or my
left?
****************************
Customer: Hi, good afternoon,
this is Martha, I can't print. Every
time I try, it says 'Can't find
printer'. I've even
lifted the printer and placed it
in front of the monitor, but the
computer still says he can't find
it..
****************************
Tech support: What's on your
monitor now, ma'am?
Customer: A teddy bear my
boyfriend bought for me at the
7-11.
****************************
Customer: My keyboard is not
working anymore.
Tech support: Are you sure
it's plugged into the computer?
Customer: No. I can't get behind
the computer.
Tech support: Pick up your
keyboard and walk 10 paces back.
Customer: ! OK
Tech support: Did the keyboard
come with you?
Customer: Yes
Tech support: That means the
keyboard is not plugged in.
****************************
Tech support: How may I help you?
Customer: I'm writing my first email.
Tech support: OK, and what seems to be the problem?
Customer: Well, I have the letter 'a' in the address, but how do I get the little circle around it?
****************************
This one and the next are our personal favorites!
A woman customer called the Canon help desk with a problem with her printer.
Tech support: Are you running it under windows?
Customer: 'No, my desk is next to the door, but that is a good point. The man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window, and his printer is working fine.'
****************************
And last but not least!
Tech support: 'Okay Bob, let's press the control and escape keys at the same time. That brings up a task list in the middle of the screen. Now type the letter 'P' to bring up the Program Manager.'
Customer: I don't have a P.
Tech support: On your keyboard, Bob.
Customer: What do you mean?
Tech support: 'P'....on your keyboard, Bob.
Customer: I'M NOT GOING TO DO THAT!
