800X600 - I dont know how you people do it.

Cluttered Desktops - You know the guy with 100 icons on his screen.

Backgrounds - Terrible. Hate them.

Screensavers - Waste of resources.

People that double click things that do not need to be double clicked... like hyperlinks.

People who call themselves webmasters and have no idea what telnet is.

I have plenty more, but I have to go buy more beer. Going to be a long night.

My girlfriend trying to listen to ENYA and Brazilian Rainforest New Age music while I am working. I just cant concentrate when friendly native villagers are chanting against the backdrop of wishy washy techno.

Aw Aw I just love this one - I sell a computer to someone
and they call me in two weeks bitching because it's too slow!!

I go over there to look at and they have loaded every fuckin thing in the world - takes the damn thing 5 minutes to boot.

When I put one on the bench like this I bust off good ol regedit
and get ride of that shit - sometimes it pisses em off but I dont give a shit. If Im gonna work on it im not going to wait for it load all that shit everytime I gotta reboot it.

How about people that call their computer a "modem" or a "hardrive"

Some more:

People who dont update their virus proggy and wonder why they have 5 virii

Bonzi Buddy

assholes that dont know what "no dial tone" means

Damn, I cant believe I forgot that one.

I ALWAYS get friends, or friends of friends, who think that because I work on this I must be good at tech support. I guess, better than their dumb asses anyhow.

And being the nice guy I am I always go look at their 486 p60 and marvel at the 400 things that load up in their system tray.

I hate when shit loads on startup anyway. Anything. No point.

Friends who you give a "bro Deal" to, to design their fucking mardi gra bead retail site, or some tap dance lessons online bullshit, who call you every other weekend, not to say "hi" to you or ask you out for a beer but to ask you to do a quick update to their page. Cause their to lazy to go into the html and type whatever lame bullshit they want in between two comment lines that say "type your lame bullshit here".

OR

when the same people say..."dude I got some new pics I wanna put up" and they bring you negatives.

OR

People who say, "dude how do you make all this money from the computer, teach me how" so you say alright come over sometime and you can start out as my submit bitch, and they say after an hour, "How can you sit in front of a computer all day", so I say," have fun at your next shift at blockbuster, cocksmoke, hook me up with some DVD's for my new $3,000 dollar entertainment system!"

OR when friends come up with some lame ass mainstream online venture, the only thing its lacks is a revenue model, creativity, promise, and a design. and guess what i here, "well see that's where you come in!" At least the always over me a "Cut" of the profits. But then they get pissed off when I ask for 95%, cause after all its was "THEIR IDEA".

redshift · 02-10-2002, 02:50 AM

I get one of these at least once a month:

me: hello

some lady: how come you guys charged me 800.00 on my phone bill?

me: WHAT?

some lady: I have a phone bill for 800.00 why did you charge this to my phone?

me: I dont know what your talking about, what phone number is
it. I dial the number and get modem sounds.
I then explain what a dialer is and that someone has been looking at porn

some lady: "oh no my husband would never do that,never"
yea right

really I get this about once a month

Theo · 02-10-2002, 06:53 AM

drunkmonkey · 02-10-2002, 07:25 AM

You hook a "friend" up with a computer and the first fucking thing he does is send you one of those god damn chain emails.

something like "send this to five people and you will have good luck. If you don't you will burn in hell for eternity".

Being the capitalist that I am, I usually convert him from "friend" to "fresh meat" and submit his email in for some free daily porn.

Ha ha ha ha, that's a good one. I actually ran across a simular instance with my brother over Christmas. He wanted to get one of those cheap $900 P4 1.6 Ghz Dell systems. I ended up popping in over $250 in upgrades for him, bumping up the ram, video card, speakers, sound card, mouse, and I turned the thing into a tower from one of those aweful looking standing cases that they have. He was bitching about the extra costs, but I told him that he'd thank me in the end, he he he.

Friends that call me for free tech support from all over the country instead of calling the help desk listed in their product manuals. Yeah, I know it's their dime but only one person ever walks through the problem and follows my instructions.

How about people making more money than you and calling you from work to help with their problem? Argh!

Here's a couple that is currently driving me NUTS at work!

We are a suppoesdly "Internet Consulting company".. We don't even have a friggin server!

Or, my boss accidentily hides his start menu and can't figure out how to get it back, lol!

Or, my boss tells me that I don't need a new computer because my PII500 is "state of the art!"

Or, my boss has two websites that we created that have the potential to be very successful, however he won't spend anymore money on them and expects everything for free... Then wonders why they are not as successful as he hoped...

Or, my boss has every friggin program running in the tray as well as 50 million icons on his desktop and wonders why his PC is slow as hell..

Or, every single piece of software that we use in our business is fuckin pirated shit!!

Makes you wonder how people expect to do business this way!
