Computer Laughs - Stillwaters Estates

Here are some laughs for you techies and non-techies – yes, I know you are out there!

Calls to Technical Support:Tech support:    What kind of computer do you have?
Customer:          A white one…
Tech support: Click on the ‘my computer’ icon on to the left of the screen.
Customer:         Your left or my left?

************************

Customer: Hi, good afternoon, this is Martha, I can’t print. Every time I try,

it says ‘can’t find printer’. I’ve even lifted the printer and placed it in front of the monitor,
but the computer still says he can’t find it..

*************************

Customer:         My keyboard is not working anymore.
Tech support:    Are you sure it’s plugged into the computer?
Customer:          No. I can’t get behind the computer.
Tech support:    Pick up your keyboard and walk 10 paces back.
Customer:           OK
Tech support:    Did the keyboard come with you?
Customer:          Yes
Tech support: That means the keyboard is not plugged in.

*************************

Customer:            I can’t get on the Internet.
Tech support:      Are you sure you used the right password?
Customer:            Yes, I’m sure. I saw my colleague 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.
A friend has placed a screen saver on my computer,
but every time I move the 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?
*************************
A woman customer called the Canon help desk with 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 in the cubicle next to me is under a window, and his printer is working fine.’
************************
Tech support: ‘Okay 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

Thanks to Stillwaters resident Mary Chandler for sharing this hillarious techie humor!
