They are talking about thick/stupid clients/colleagues.

While discussing a lady in my work with an I.T. representative who had dealt with her inane queries on many occasions e.g. "How do I turn this on? - Press the ON button" and the likes). We went to another pc in the office and tapped into her pc, we (or he) sent a fake windows error message to her screen saying.

"WINDOWS HAS ENCOUNTERED A MAJOR FAULT. GET UNDER THE TABLE. NOW."

Believe it or not, she did, and stayed there until someone asked her what she was doing.

Laugh?, I nearly died.

The worst thing about this is that I don't doubt it for one minute.

Can anyone remember the url of the website where people posted amusing, or just mad, IT support stories? It was really funny reading and there were several hundred stories just like that on there.

S96...It's probably your "Google search for Swinger" that brought it down in the first place.

I get that at work as well, bunch of ANALysts hammering our SQL servers. when one of them crashes, they all go home ?? makes us look so bad.

what do they expect you to do? just restart it without looking for the cause and hope it doesnt do it again ? like they wouldnt kick our ***** if we did and it died again
