IT Help Desk brings some interesting ones.. the difference is, I work with these folks every day.. there's no escape!
Three funniest calls ever...
We have one lady who is in her mid 70's and really doesn't like having to use a computer but took a job that requires it 8 hours a day. She called me three times in one week to tell me her printer wouldn't print. All three times, it was out of paper! She learns though.. the next time her printer wouldn't print and she called she said "I checked though, and it has paper!". It was a triumphant moment!
I get a call from one user saying "Three computers just died all at once". I instantly think "this can't be a computer issue, this is a building services problem". I go to the area and guess what? Not only were there printers not working, neither were their lights, radios or space heaters. All three had space heaters in their cubes/offices and they blew a circuit! I said "Did you notice your clock and lights are out too?" LOL
The best ever (so far). One lady moved to a new cube and we moved her computer along with her. She calls the next day "I can't log on to my computer since you moved it". I say "We didn't change the password or anything, do the same thing you always do". She says "Well, since you moved the computer, I don't remember my password". She went to her old cube, sat down and suddenly remembered her password! I had to fight so hard to keep from busting out laughing.
And, in reference to the "In the back" questions from the earlier threads.. As an older lady, I can tell you that "in the old days" the salesperson would often ask you what you were looking for and frequently offered to "look in the back" because they didn't keep all the stock out all the time. Some may not realize that this isn't common practice anymore.
Also, I've had grocery baggers put heavy cans on top of my bread more than once... I still don't tell them how to bag though!
