Help Desk Stories:
- A woman called the Canon help desk with a problem with her printer.
The tech asked her if she was "running it under Windows."
The woman then responded, "No, my desk is next to the door. But that is a good point. The man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window, and his is working fine."
- Tech Support: "OK Bob, let's press the control and escape keys at the same time. That brings up a task list in the middle of the screen. Now type the letter 'P' to bring up the Program Manager."
Customer: "I don't have a 'P'."
Tech Support "On your keyboard, Bob."
Customer: "What do you mean?"
Tech Support: "'P' on your keyboard, Bob."
Customer: "I'm not going to do that!"
Customer: "Hi...my coffee cup holder isn't coming out any more."
Tech Support: "Your what...?"
Customer: "My coffee cup holder..the thing with the 24X on it"
Tech Support: "Ummm..that's your CD-Rom device..."
Customer: "So that'll get me connected to the Internet, right?"
Tech Support: "Yeah."
Customer: "And that's the latest version of the Internet, right?"
Tech Support: "Umm...uh...uh...yeah."
Customer: "Can you copy the Internet for me on this diskette?"
Sales: "ummm"
Overheard in a computer shop:
Customer: "I'd like a mouse mat, please."
Salesperson: "Certainly sir, we've got a large variety."
Customer: "Will it be compatible with my computer?"
Help Desk received a fax with a note on the bottom to fax the document back to the sender when finished with it, because he needed to keep it.
