Ferrett: This was supposed to be done yesterday. Was it?
Ferrett: I am NOT AUTHORIZING further work to be done on our dollar when it may have been done already
Ferrett: So was it done at all, or do you know?
76816909: Please let us know your mail id so that we will update you.
Ferrett: Again? Theferrett@theferrett.com
Ten minutes go by
Ferrett: I see no update.

Ferrett: theferrett@theferrett.com
Ferrett: Do you see that?
Ferrett: Theferrett@theferrett.com

Ferrett: Hello?
76816909: hold on please.

So the kicker: I call, and this technofuckwipe didn't even give me his number. He gave me someone else's number, who knew nothing about this. God DAMN, I am going to have to work harder on killing people with my psychic mind powers.
Current Mood:  frustrated

| | *laughs* Sorry. I'm not laughing AT you..I'm laughing at the years I was on the other end of the phone calls and messaging.
I did IT and tech support for years and I am constantly amazed at how stupid alot of computer users are.
After reading this, I must marvel at how stupid TECH SUPPORT can be.
Hang in there, Ferrett.
Lysa No, the techs are frequently lazy and don't double-check their work. Gah. as in the dilbert Comics which you feel you must live some days
Must Resist erge to use fist of death

Are you sure that you were given the right number? Because this sounds awfully stupid on behalf of tech support if so. It sounds like someone pulling one over on you and laughing about it on the other end. No, this was an actual guy. When the day is done and the dust settled, I will post the full details and you will realize that this guy is about average for WebAuthorities. That's both funny as hell and very depressing/disturbing at the same time.
There's nothing quiet like people for stupidity is there? ![[User Picture]](http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/102525313/542245) | | From: | xforge |

I hope you don't mind; I submitted this to the "War Stories & Other Tickets" forum at The Chronicles of George. If you go to their main page you'll discover "George" was a particularly un-helpful and massively clueless Level-1 help desk rep. This guy makes George look competent. If you go, look for "The most frustrating level-1 tech support person ever." No problem. This looks like an entertaining site; I'll have to browse at some point... |
