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.
