A Tale from Tech Support (from Reddit)

Scrolling through Reddit and certain sub-reddits turn up some gold. Here is one posted by /u/nabbitnabbitnabbit on Reddit.

Long time listener, first time caller.I have been in this IT Support business for about 20 years. Through this time, I've been privileged to support some very intelligent people and a gaggle of idiots.I'll tell this tale and you can decide where this user fits in.I got a broken laptop into my office, which is no new thing. It won't power on.$User: My laptop suddenly stopped working!$Me: What were you doing when the laptop died?$User: I was working on some research.$Me: Was there a power surge? Did you spill anything in your laptop?$User: No, I didn't do anything.So I got out my trusty screwdriver set and opened this bad boy. Coffee poured out.$Me: Uh, you said you didn't spill anything on your laptop.$User: indignantly Well, I didn't spill anything!$Me: ...but there is coffee pouring out of this laptop.$User: Oh, my wife spilled that. Does it make any difference? I didn't spill the coffee, so the laptop should still work.$Me: Yes. Anything spilled in your laptop can make it stop working, no matter who did it.$User: Oh. Even if I didn't spill it?$Me: Uhhhhhhh.Still, I recovered his data and sent his laptop to the big IEEE electronics recycler in the sky.

Use yer brain ffs!
