Freds page of silly users stories

This page is still under construction. look back soon.

So I'm talking to my buddy Ron and he tells me this first story;

A guy calls in, I'm talking to him for what must of been a half of an hour listening to this guy tell me about this new computer and how his new monitor won't work. I have him check the power cord and outlet to make sure they're live and plugged in, then I have him adjust the controls and he's starting to get pretty pissed off. I then say "HEY" describe exactly what you're lookin at right now. He starts describing a big wide base on the bottom, and what sounds like a grate in the front and two cables coming out of the top. I have to sit back a minute and absorb what I'm hearing. I ask him to tell me more about the cables coming out of the top. He says "Yeah theres two cables coming out the top, one goes to the back of the computer and one to the outlet on the wall. I can't believe what i'm hearing. I ask the guy to try and pick up his monitor and rotate it 90 degrees toward him. I then hear " son of a bitch" and then he hangs up.

It seems this guy wasted my time with a monitor that was placed laying on its screen. What an idiot. True story.

I'm not going to bore you with the user who broke his CD player because he thought it was a coffee holder.

Another user after a break during a presentation he was giving, noticed that his laptop screen was blank. He asked for help getting his screen back on. The first thing i tried was to move his mouse, then WOW instantly his screen came back to life. Interesting thing those screen savers are.

User calls in to have his password changed. We change his password so he can get back on the system. Same user calls back the next day to have his password changed again. This goes on two more days before the user asks "should i choose a password that I can remember?" DUH!!
