Stupid people are the coolest thing ever!! If it wasent for stupid people, my job would suck!... anyway.. I worked at wal-Fart about a year ago and i swear to all that is holy, that stupid peolpe ONLY shop at Mall-mart. I worked in electronics dep and had people ask and say the dumbest ---- ever, the most commen was" Do you have any colore and black & white ink for my printer?"... My respons " Well I have good news and bad news, we have colore and black but were all out of white".. I'd have people laught or get really pissed but 90% of the time I'd get a blank stare. But thats just the top of the iceburg. A lady once said to me, I'm looking for this thing for her husband....... THATS ALL SHE SAID TO ME!! "Well, whats that?" I say, trying to figure out if this chick is HIgh or sumthin." It's uh thing that you put a vhs tape in too." she says. First thing that comes to mind is a VCR, right? "no, it doesnt play it, it turns the tape."It turns the tape"I say, trying to keep the sarcasum to a minumum. After a moment of silance, I realize she's talking about a tape rewinder, so I go and reach for one and give it to her. " No, not one for CD's." She say.... Man, could go on and on..

I do tech support for a bank... I am lucky though and only get a few calls a day so I mostly just sleep and surf the web. Usually the really dumb ones are extremly old people that only have a computer so they can do banking online. Sometimes I have to explain how to use a mouse. Sometimes I have to explain how to type with that funny thing in front of them that has letters on it. If I try to use any kind of computer terms like desktop, browser, operating system, internet provider, etc... they think I am talking in some weird langauge. And if I even ask a question the answer is usually I got a dell or I got aol. I can't stand those words because that usually means the only thing they know how to do is push the power button. I have to be nice though because all my calls are recorded >:(

Plese people learn how to use your copmuter before you call tech support!

Re:stupid people
 

I totally want to do tech support for washington mutual. it's like $14 an hour, but the hours are during school :(

Re:stupid people

Anyways, some lady told me to go to hell the other day. So I know what you mean!

Re:stupid people

Those are some good stories guys, Especially the "710" cap...
I'm a full-time Network Admin, and I've seen some good ones, ones we like to call an "ID-Ten-T" error, "ID10T" heh

But I did to telephone Tech support for a major Dial-Up ISP, and OMG it was horrid... the most retarded fucks on the planet, but it was cool, I tried to be patient with them...

One time I did get a "cupholder" call, when I told him to use the installation CD-ROM, he mentioned something about the built-in cupholder, not sure if he was serious or not hehe...

Crazy Stuff.

Re:stupid people
 

lol, I've heard some bad ones for computer tech support. That's definitely something I would not like to do.

Re:stupid people
 

my computer has two cupholders ;D my car has none :'( haha

i hate calling computer support, you know the first question they want to ask is "is your computer ON????" haha or pugged in? but for good reason...

Re:stupid people
 

Yes normally telephone tech support is a gay job if you have calls back to back, but I only get a few calls a day maybe 5 if it's busy. ---- sometimes I don't get a call all day. So I basically get paid to surf the web and sleep... I only work part time though so I don't get paid ----... 9 buck and hour 4 hours a day. It's no biggie though since I am still in college and live with my folks (free rent, free food, etc...) And I am not joking about the sleeping... actually I think I might take a nap right now ;D

This is the easiest job I will ever have so I am going to milk it as long as I can.
