Listen, I could never work in tech support. First and foremost, I could not do this because I am not that computer savvy, but second, I couldn’t help people all day who just won’t help themselves.
I did that for years answering phones in a call center, and I shall never get back all of those pieces of my soul.
These 16 heroes are out there doing the lord’s work, though, and so the least we can do is laugh with them at their most terrible stories.
16. There’s not understanding computers, and then there’s this.
This is just physics.

15. I think that needs to be assigned to a different department.
Animal control, perhaps.

14. Did a three year old turn in this ticket?
And what exactly was all over their hands?
I should tell them it’s not a touch screen…

13. You’re telling me no one else could figure out why?
And who on earth put that in there to begin with?!
“The printer isn’t working”

12. Where on earth does this person work?
In the desert? A mine? An anthill?

11. If she only “thought” she smelled burning she should have her nose checked.
It is literally screaming for help.
End user had a heater next to the PC which was randomly shutting off and she thought she had smelled burning a couple of times. It is literally screaming

10. Seems like a good place to keep it.
Honestly, considering some offices, it really might be a good place to keep it idk.
9. That would have been the day I quit my job.
Seriously, where do you even start?
8. Got a little crazy with those scissors.
Those packages are infuriating, though.
One of my co-workers was eager to unpack her new mouse.

7. And you thought your earbud tangle was bad.
This is a legit nightmare.

6. Really? The space heater was what you noticed?
This makes my stomach hurt, ugh. Close call.

5. Did they think those things were antennae?
And…they think speakers need antennae for what?
First day on job; set up those 4 wireless speakers for you.

4. Where do you even begin?
And who thought that was a good idea?
3. That is horrifying.
And an accurate description, I think.

2. Surely they have SOME idea?
Although, as a former customer, I can’t say for sure that they do.
AT&T has no idea why their DSL services is so poor. It must be my wires in my house. No I don’t think so.

1. Spoiler alert: it was not a good spot.
Nor is that a good color for a candle, to be honest.
I need somewhere to set this candle….oh here’s a good spot!

Has anything like this ever happened to you? Please share your funny stories in the comments!
