There sure is a lot there. I do not know if this story is on that site or not, but here is a true story I heard from a computer teacher I had in high school.:
Tech: How may I help you?
Caller: My computer will not turn on.
Tech: Did you press the power button on the front of the computer?
Caller: Yes.
Tech: Is the computer making any noise or is it completely silent?
Caller: It is not making a sound.
Tech: Hmm, ok, is the power cable plugged in to the back of the computer and the wall?
Caller: Yes, I checked it.
Tech: Are you sure that wall outlet has power?
Caller: Oh, well the power has been out all day today.
Tech: (Calmly)Ok, here is what you need to do.
Pack up your computer and send it back becuase you are too stupid to own one.
The tech was fired after this.

^ That story is a rip-off of a slightly modified longer story.

It's almost true, but the tech never told the person that they were stupid, and they didn't get fired. :(
