It's a short read, and worth it.[/url]

Gawd. I live in Dallas (suburb, anyway) and this is the mildest of the crap that's going on with our city councils and PDs here. :P

oh how i feel your pains, being in the it sector for about 10 years now, having done support for hardware software and networking, as next to software development, users suck ass.Still i prefer the dumbasses who call and explain instead the ones that just do and try out stuff.

Have encountered soo many stories, sadly never kept them and my memory fails to recall some now. Anyways great it fuckup stories on this website, to releave some of the stress; http://thedailywtf.com/

btw, im NEVER EVER going back to telling I actually do support when somebody asks me privatly, next thing you'll know you will be talking shop through every next social gathering for the coming 40years, because "hey you work with computers, right, you should know this". When somebody asks, im in sales!

It's not any better dealing with Fortune 100 companies either. Some times I wonder how they stay in business.

So true. I feel for y'all, I left end user support 8 years ago and I have no desire to go back. I've been supporting supporting a fortune 500 datacenter ever since. No more end users, but I gotta tell you some of the site admins and app support people can be worse than end users. But at least they can understand most of the terminology, just not the concepts behind them :P

The term 'brainstorming' has been banned by a council here in the UK, because it may cause offence to sufferers of epilepsy.

I love how even the people it would supposedly offend think the ban is ridiculous. :thumbsup:

that and the Tex/Asian accent.

I've heard the Tex/Asian accent before and it's bad but I've ran into one even worse imo; British/Asian. It was a cockney accent that had gone wrong. When I couldn't understand her name I asked her to spell it, and I couldn't understand the letters.

Exasperated he replied "I asked for her computer model, she said 'I can't read it, it's upside down because the monitor cable wouldn't reach the plug in.'"
