I’m not Billi Gates!!!

We all have our little embarassing moments when it comes to technology. At least we can laugh at ourselves – and these people.


Tech Support: What kind of computer do you have?
Customer: A white one.
…………………………………………

Customer: Hi, this is Celine.  I can’t get my DVD out !!!
Tech Support: Have you tried pushing the button?
Customer: Yes, I’m sure it’s really stuck.
Tech Support: That doesn’t sound good; I’ll make a note.
Customer: No, wait a minute, I hadn’t inserted it yet.  It’s still on my desk . . . sorry.  Thank you.
………………………………………….

Tech Support: Click on the ‘MY COMPUTER’ icon on the left of the screen.
Customer: Your left or my left?
………………………………………….

Tech Support: Hello.  How may I help you?
Male Customer:  Hi … . . I can’t print.
Tech Support: Would you click on ‘START’ for me and . . …..
Customer: Listen pal; don’t start getting technical on me.  I’m not Billi Gates!!!
………………………………………….

Customer: Good afternoon, this is Martha.  I can’t print.  Every time I try, it says .. . . ‘CAN’T FIND PRINTER’.  I even lifted the printer and placed it in front of the monitor, but the computer still says it can’t find it!!!
………………………………………….

Customer: I have problems printing in red.
Tech Support: Do you have a color printer?
Customer: Aaaah . . . . . . . . . . thank you.
………………………………………….

Tech Support: What’s on your monitor now, ma’am?
Customer: A teddy bear that my boyfriend bought for me at the 7-11 store.
………………………………………….

Customer: My keyboard is not working anymore.
Tech Support: Are you sure your keyboard is plugged into the computer?
Customer: No.  I can’t get behind the computer.
Tech Support: Pick up your keyboard and take ten steps backwards.
Customer: Okay.
Tech Support: Did the keyboard come with you?
Customer: Yes.
Tech Support: That means the keyboard is not plugged in.  Is there another keyboard?
Customer: Yes, there’s another one here.  Wait a moment please. .. . . . . .  Ah, that one does work.
Thanks.
………………………………………..

Tech Support: Your password is the small letter ‘a’ as in apple, a capital letter ‘V’ as in Victor, and the number ‘7’.
Customer: Is that ‘7’ in capital letters?
………………………………………….

Customer: I can’t get on the internet.
Tech Support: Are you absolutely sure you used the correct password?
Customer: Yes, I’m sure.  I saw my co-worker do it.
Tech Support: Can you tell me what the password was?
Customer: Five dots.
………………………………………….

Tech Support: What anti-virus program do you use?
Customer: Netscape.
Tech Support: That’s not an anti-virus program.
Customer: Oh, sorry . . . Internet Explorer.
…………………………………………

Customer: I have a huge problem! My friend has placed a screen saver on my computer . . . but, every time I move my mouse, it disappears.
………………………………………….

Tech Support: How may I help you?
Customer: I’m writing my first email.
Tech Support: OK, and what seems to be the problem?
Customer: Well, I have the letter ‘a’ in the address, but how do I get the little circle around it.
………………………………………….

And last, but not least . . .

A woman customer called the Canon help desk because she had a problem with her printer.
Tech Support: Are you running it under windows?
Customer: No, my desk is next to the door, but that is a good point.  The man sitting next to me is by a window, and his printer is working fine!

    Hallo Sonja,
    Iets vir ‘n Vrydagmiddag… Ek soek ‘n nuwe woord om “rekenaar” te vervang – verkieslik dieselfde in Afrikaans en Engels. Hoe lyk dit?
