just thought of another along the porno route.

working for a huge firm in NYC a senior manager comes into the IT dept claiming he gets constant bluescreens and cant continue working like this and would like a new hard drive for his pc. so we do the best we can to accomodate him. while trying to salvage all his files it kept quiting when it would reach one folder. so we asked him if this folder was important cause we couldn't finish the job because it always caused the copying process to quit. he said no that it was important client data that could not be lost. now we're not supposed to look at the files but since it was always crashing we wanted to know what was so damned important...now his client must have been vidid videos cause all he had was a 1gig of porn on there...videos and pictures of guy on guy guy on girl etc etc everything under the sun. we never told anyone about it but we made sure to back up his drive in case he came back to us with any complaints so we'd have proof. lol....some guys need a hobby

Well, although I don't have any single story to tell, I do have a funny response we came up with. Whenever there was a problem, so as not to make the user feel stupid for doing the stupid thing that caused the problem, we would tell tham that it must be an Eye Dee ten tee related..now, the fun part...if you write that out you get:

ID10T or IDIOT!!

Was too funny. Most people thought you were talking over their heads and just nodded agreement...fun!

We always joke about answering the Help Desk with "Shut up and reboot" then just hang-up.
