    Customer: Yeah....
    Tech support: And what sort of computer are you using?
    Customer: Computer? Oh no, I haven't got a computer. It's in the CD player and all I get is weird noises. Listen.....

    Tech support: Are you sure it's plugged into the computer?
    Customer: No. I can't get behind the computer.
    Tech support: Pick up your keyboard and walk 10 paces back.
    Customer: OK

    A woman customer called the Canon help desk with a problem with her printer.

    ===============

    And last but not least:....

    Tech support: "Okay Bob, let's press the control and escape keys at the same time. That brings up a task list in the middle of the screen. Now type the letter "P" to bring up the Program Manager."

    Tech support: On your keyboard, Bob.
    Customer: What do you mean?

    What is scary is most of these users have driving licences....
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    You missed my all time favorite...

    ME: Right click on your " My Computer " icon and choose " Properties "
    CUSTOMER: I did twice, and nothing happened...
    Me: Try the other right mouse button...
    CUSTOMER: There we go!

    This happened more than a few times...

    My favorite user story happened right here at work. One of our staff called to report that her computer, which they had moved themselves, was not working at all. She said they had reconnected all the cables, etc. just like they were before, but nothing was happening. So, down goes one of my guys to check the errant PC and discovered, much to our glee, that they had plugged the surge protector into itself!

    I didn't surrender, but they took my horse and made him surrender. They have him pulling a wagon up in Kansas I bet.
