The best one at work today

"There's an issue with the accounting system."

"Alright, Ma'am. Let me just remote in and you can show me."
-remotes into server-

"So, here. This customer had a $350 balance. They paid with these three checks on these three invoices. It says they have balance left over. Why?"

"Well -adds- All of those payments from the checks.. they add up to $197.07..so they -should- have balance left over."

"What? NO! You're not understanding. Here. Look. You see these three checks?"

"Yes."

"They paid their balance."

"No, ma'am. They paid ON their balance, but it didn't cover it. They only paid a total of $197.07, so that leaves them with $152.93. "

"That's RIDICULOUS! Where did you get such a damn number?!"

"... A calculator. Ma'am, I apologize that you're having problems with the basic math, but they only paid you $152.93 on a $350 bill, so that leaves $197.07."

"You're all a bunch of idiots! -click-"

I love reading these kinds of stories! I don`t have to deal with customers like that in my job. Still had a good one yesterday.

Senior person in the company tells someone that they can use our chopper to film a charity event as a favour. Sounds great right, boss using a company perk for charity. Where it goes to shit is that I was never told about this happening until the night before. I’m the lead pilot on base so I probably should have been involved in the planning at some point, also so should the cameraman who was doing this as a favour for his daughter (who was involved in it somehow that was never explained).

Long story short no one responsible for actually doing the job had any idea where we were even going let alone what was being filmed. I had to google the event to figure out when and where it started. Of course that meant I ended up taking off 30min after they already started the event.

I also had scheduled maintenance that day for the bird but had to postpone it. Irony being that the maintenance being done would have installed a recorder that could have allowed them to film the event with our on board gyro stabilized camera instead of buddy with his shoulder cam getting shaky shots with no zoom. Given me some heads up and they would have had HD quality steady film with a trained operator behind the controls instead of the blair witch project goes airborne.

Priceless example of amazing planning.

"Alright, so besides the server, how many workstations do you have?"
"This is the only one."
"Oh, good. Alright, going to go ahead and reboot it now."
"I think I should know how many damn stations I have."
"Er,... what?"
"I said this is the only one! "
"And I said I was restarting it..."
"Oh... Hahahah...."

From how often I want to do the same thing to people, I can believe this.

Here's one from about 20 minutes ago.

"Hello, I'm, er..Uh... Uhhhh."

"Alright, Ma'am. What seems to be the problem?" < Trying to move it along.

"Okay, uh, I ran someones' Credit Card.. and I got this weird error message."

"What sort of error message? Is it still on the screen?"

"A bad one. Er, uh, I think, erm, you're going to have to send someone out."

"What does it say, word for word?"

"It says, uh, 'Credit Card Declined'. "

".......Ma'am that means the Card you tried to run was declined."

"But this customer said they have money! Uh, uh uh, uh, I asked them!"

"Well, ma'am, they may have an issue with their bank."

"I'm not telling this customer their card is bad! This system is broken! Fix it!"

"No, ma'am... the declined message is a response from the bank. That card is bad."

"Uh, uh, uh - whatever. -click-"

[CruciasNZ]

Lol these make me feel more intelligent by the sentance

[Armoured Priest]

That last one, why do people act like that? In the face of small reality check, and I mean small, they freak out?

Sigh.

And that is why i swear i will never do any kind of support/advice job

[Biohazard16]

I work at a fried chicken place in Alabama, so I'm sure you all can imagine how many stupid people we get through here. I'll have to remember to post some of the really dumb ones as they come up, but I had one today that made me laugh. May not live up to the hilarity I've seen so far in this thread but still rather lolzy.

"So, does the 10 finger box come with fries?"

"No, ma'am, it only comes with the fingers"

"Oh, alright, well how many fingers does it get?"

seriously?

[CotW]

More good stuff. Makes me sad how dumb people can be. On the bright side we can come here and laugh at them!
