How did this one reach breeding age?

I got off a 2-hour call today with a customer that was truly unbelievable in his stupidity! This joker was getting an "invalid password" error. OK no problem - easy fix.

Yeah, right...... https://forums.windrivers.com/

I help him delete his profiles and re-do them. Same problem. OK, maybe it's a typo, no big deal. Nope, same problem. Try re-entering pw again by the kindergarten method: I read the character, you read it back to me as you type it. Foolproof. Nope, still same error.

Now, of course, during this whole call, the guy keeps putting me on terminal hold while he goes off to do something else that is apparently MORE important than the crisis which precipitated his calling ME.

I finally run a report that shows me every keystroke this guy's trying to send to us, and I discover the problem! When I read off "Z as in Zebra" and he reads back to me "Z as in Zebra", he's not typing "Z", he's typing "L". :eek: L?????? Next character, "Q as in Queen", becomes "D". And so on. This guy was completely incapable of following instructions!

I could not beLIEVE this guy! Definitely one for the Darwin awards.... https://forums.windrivers.com/https://forums.windrivers.com/https://forums.windrivers.com/

Nobody said that you had to have a brain to own a computer nowadays...

Someone realized he was clueless and thought "it will be a great joke :D to move the letters on his keyboard arround."

ROFLMAO!!!!! :D :D :D

Sounds like something I'd do to someone like him. :D :D :D

I had a keyboard come into the shop that had all the keys switched around the other day. The guy brought it in for almost the same problem. I asked him if he had any kids in the house that could have messed with his keyboard. Response: Oh, no, I took it apart the other day after I spilled something in it and figured that the computer knew which key was which. :eek:

I often wonder what it would be like to be that ignorant

I won't start critisize the customers, cause I would surely get flamed!!!
I have a lot to say...

Having trouble reaging the screen........its full of coffee I just sprayed it with reading this. Keyboards coverd too....Note to self: take photo of keyboard before you remove the keys!!!

I love it when they have a problem and I go to their desk or whatever and I ask them to log in, they look at me and say:

What password should I use ?

How the F--- should I know your password ?

Then there are these users:

User: "My computer won't take my password"
Me: "It's case sensitive. Do you use all lower case or a combination?"
User: "Huh? Lower case, I think."
Me: "Hang on. I'll reset it for you."
Me: "Try it now."
User: "Same thing. What could be wrong?"
Me: "I'll be right there."

I arrive on scene only to find that either one of two things has happened:

1) They're trying to enter their password in the Domain box.

or

2) Someone else used the computer earlier and the current user didn't even bother to look at the login dialog box to ensure that their username was there.

LOL!!

I did that to a calltaker at my work. Changed the keypad to look like the number pad and moved the "j" home key one to the right. This guy being a touch typer (except for the keypad) had no clue until after he finished documenting and then reached orbit!

:D :D :D

That reminds me of that experiment where all these monkeys are mashing away at keyboards trying to write a novel.

Sunstroke

Something like "If you have a room with a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters, eventually you will end up with a room full of dead monkeys and broken typewriters."


I guess you could feed the monkeys, but the presence of external variables ruins the experiment.

ROTFLMAO - Rolling on the floor laughing my Arse off.

I get this at work all the time. If me; or any of the other admin staff log into root on their terminal to do maintenance; they find it odd that their password doesn't work for root.

"After All; If I Enter My Password; It should look up my password, Right???"

I think it's fairly obvious WHY we make sure that the users' passwords don't match ANY of the superuser's accounts :)

Kind of ironic but I have a Focus FK2001 Keyboard that went bonkers about 2 months ago. No key displays what it is. The keys are all in their right spots and all work. Its as if some one change the character set. It did this over a weekend. The keyboard used to be on our server and I came in one Monday Morn and couldnt log on, Finally change keyboard and all was well. Every once in a while we put it on our demo system just to watch the reaction from the after school PC geniuses. :eek:We just tell them it is a special encrypted that the Feds use to trace hackers....

fuzzy static sounds followed by intercom feedback and a stern voice...

"Could someone please remove this man from the gene pool? Repeat. Could someone please remove this man from the gene pool IMMEDIATELY?!"

I never cease to be amazed at the shining examples of total stupidity that show up in these posts.

I see stupid people
They're everywhere
And they don't know they're stupid....

Had nothing to do with the OS - it was a pw problem in our software that the luser had input wrong. I doubt this guy could spell his name, let along type in a password!

This covers about 50% of my password support calls. They don't switch the user name and end up locking out other people's accounts. P*sses me off!!!!
