rock2much posted:I had a lady scream gently caress YOU at the top of her lungs when I refused to go to her home and 'install' a printer cable for her. I was working at Circuit City at the time and this was in the middle of a crowded store. I have a co worker that actually was paying $200/month for internet. It was some kind of standalone router that interfaced with TMobile's cell phone network and provided internet access that way. They convinced her to buy it by claiming that Comcast cable modem service was completely unreliable and would stop working "several times a day." How did I learn about this? As the lab's "computer person," she asked me about the legitimacy of huge overage charges that showed up one month. She wanted to know "how many movies" she and her two sisters can watch without going over. She then informed me that her monthly limit was "twelve million kilobytes" and that the sales guy assured her this was a huge amount.

I hate predatory sales people feeding consumers lines of bullshit. Because it always comes back to a "he said she said" thing, and somehow these people always want to trust the shady sales rep over the support person.

To be fair, 12GB is a pretty large data cap, but it's not $200 worth of data cap, and gently caress predatory sales people.

So I had one of our techs put in a service request with Dell for a new Latitude 7240 laptop that was under warranty. User was having battery life issues and it was occasionally powering off and getting some odd fan errors when it would boot. The Dell tech comes by and starts to work on it. Points out that there is a ton of corrosion everywhere on the laptop and looks like someone obviously spilled something on it. So we send it out to Dell to get replaced and the user gets a brand new Lenovo x240 to use in the meantime. THE NEXT DAY she spills coffee all over it. Won't turn on at all. She has single handedly proven the value of accidental damage warranty coverage. At this point she is really freaking out because she thinks this laptop cost will be deducted from her paycheck. Our company generally has a policy of one allowed lost/stolen/damaged device every four years for phones, tablets, laptops, etc. I explain to her that we can get it covered under warranty and that aside from the time and effort of getting her another temp laptop ready she will be fine. That's when she comes clean. The first laptop had been peed on by her dog. She was afraid to tell us so she cleaned it as best as she could with paper towels and windex and hoped for the best. gently caress users.

The modem is sitting on a soggy piece of pissed soaked carpet and the modem has piss crystals all over it. When we confront the tenant about it: "It was like that when you put it in."

Our HR team moved next to my office. The walls are super thin and I can hear everything. The next few months until they move again are going to be peachy. Also I love when PMs complain that "some laptops don't have Excel and Word" but when pressed for details are mysteriously silent...

A ticket came in. After two years of hiring people even more dumb than the ones that were fired, we have been asked to find some sort of web based pre-employment test for basic computer and Microsoft Office literacy. After searching around and taking the example tests from a few vendors, it seems that most of them aren't entirely English or are far too in-depth for the level of employee being interviewed (clerical). Do any of your organizations already have something like this in place?
