This is the thread where us Tech support/desktop support fucks bitch and moan about the bitchers and moaners
My current job is great. I work at the High School I graduated from. This might sound shitty, but I am now the guy that my former teachers call up when their internet stops working. They call me up a lot.
However, there are some severe Technochondriacs in the schools I work at (I also have the Junior High). I get 4 or 5 work orders a week from one teacher, 75-80% of which go right into the delete pile.
However, I can't complain too much. The people here are very computer literate, to the point where I have to lock things down to avoid having the teachers mess with the computers.
My last job was doing tech support for a bank in new england, which will not be named. There are a ton of stories from there, because those people were absolutely insane.

TECHNOLOGY IS GAAAAAAAAY
Usually it's a bad idea
My mom's computer is so fucked up the ass it's not even funny anymore. Random freezes, spyware, etc etc. I've been telling her that we need to backup her stuff and do a complete wipe of the machine, but she never agrees to it because "she can still play most of her games online"
It's also the computer that my sister uses for her work, and she's lost almost 4-5 projects within the course of last year to the damn thing freezing on her.
I will never do tech support again.
Technology is in fact, quite gay.
"IS YOUR COMPUTER PLUGGED INTO THE WALL M'AM?"
muh.
Not as much as you, you see
But I still love technology
Always and forever
as she installs the 50th random internet casino program
it almost made me feel like i actually knew two shits about computers and how they work
(but i dont really)
we had spyware and it was taking our money through tons of little charges
and my dad thought that it was actually that the internet was charging money whenever you clicked on something or clicked on a picture to see it fullsized
Oh GOD! I dealt with this for so long.
Finally when I bought my computer I could say "Oh well I've had this for a year and it's running great, somehow the computer you bought 2 months ago is running like it's been put though a cement-mixer. I guess all those years it wasn't my games breaking the computer afterall huh?"
Then there are these gems:
-"We have AOL, it protects us from viruses so I don't need to run a virus scan."
-"You should have bought a Dell, then you wouldn't have this problem with UPS shipping your computer, causing a loose connection and frying your motherboard. This is because you chose a no-name company and I get all my information from Consumer Reports."
My dad did the exact same thing. I was trying to have a shower and my mother came banging on the door telling me he was angry and I was like ''just right click the desptop, properties, settings, and change the res'' ''OH NO THAT IS TOO COMPLICATED'' so I eventually go down there and he's done some dumb ass thing to change the font and icon size really big. But now I managed to get them on to 1024x768.
I go home each night and cry and cut myself.
I need to convince my mother to not get a mother fucking dell.
Is Starforce your sick revenge?
I call tech support at least once a month to complain about bunny hoppers and wallhacks just to make people like you cry and cut yourself.
OMG PING BOOST YUR SEVERERS!!! PING BOOOOOOST!!!!!
I demand justice.
I've been trying to reach you, but your extension cord doesn't reach that far.
So is there some sort of tool (heh) I could go deeper with (heh) to find out for sure?
that was such a boring story. get out.
