tech support

Well, that is what she wanted, right? After a long stretch of bullying and threats, this employee finally called Karen on her word and got rid of her account. IT workers receive some ridiculous requests on a day-to-day basis, and that's when they're not even dealing with a malicious and absurdly demanding Karen.

There's that age old problem of being hired to do a job that works on a task by task basis, but you're still paid hourly, so half of your time is spent pretending to do your job just so management stays happy. These guys said screw that. For some funny IT stories, here are ridiculous requests IT workers received.

Most of us aren't computer people, but we kind of know that you're not supposed to drill holes in your mouse or hammer anything into your USB port. You don't need to be in IT to know that these moments of Tech Support Gore can be pretty difficult to look at. For more proof that people suck with technology, here are ridiculous requests that IT workers received.

Sure, we're not all geniuses with computers. But at this point in time, when computers have been a necessity for most households and workplaces for a few decades, it's a little ridiculous when someone doesn't know that you can't print a clickable link. Tech support gets some ridiculous requests, and some of them are even mean, like this Karen who had her bluff called and had her website deleted.

People have such a limited understanding of technology that the office tech support person can seem like a literal godsend. IT has to deal with some of the worst tech support gore around, and managers who don't know what computers are. This guy had to deal with a problem printer, and used an unorthodox method.

These tech support moments are pure nightmare fuel. It's a wonder that these people were able to get their machines and internet and whatnot to work like it did. 

We all have severe lapses in observation from time to time but damn, Karen. What can we say? At least she figured it out sooner than later. The devil's in the details. This isn't a rare phenomenon, and some people have worse technical skills than others. It's pretty common knowledge that people have a pretty hard time with computers.

We're not sure who's more shocked here; The retail worker who learned the power symbol isn't a camera, or the tech support dude who had to tell them?

He found love in a hopeless place...

These idiots really need to get with the times.
