Personal Experience Story Thread.

[Grumblin]

This is where you tell a story that we can all laugh at. Ingame, IRL what the hell ever.

[Gekster]

You go first, you made this stupid thread!

[Buyza]

I will go first. I once knew this faggot from like NY or some shit who like ebayed some account and I was talking to him on the phone he sounded like a fucking euro queer and he tried to cover it up by saying he was sick.

A few years back my boss called me and said "lets create a server message board for the new server and usurp the power from all the wannabe benign forum hosts". And the rest is history.

Ok here is one.. laugh if you wish

I was at home one night and the hubby was down in Texas for work. He wasn't going to be back until the next afternoon and I hate to spend the night alone so I had my friend Melissa sleep over. We hung out until about 2 am then went to bed. We were woke up by a door slamming. We saw lights and someones feet under the door coming from the bathroom. We were freaking out because obviously someone was in the apartment with us and I had no clue who it was. I grabbed the phone and called 911. We were both too afraid to open the bedroom door so we stayed in there. Then got even more freaked out when they turned off the lights in the front room. About 30 seconds later we heard the police at the front door. Melissa went and opened the bedroom door because there was no way I was going to go out there first. Turns out it was my hubby home early and didn't tell me!! (Saw that coming didja?) Well I had to explain to the cops that I had indeed called them on my hubby and not some psycho killer like we thought. No emergency. I felt so silly. He was pissed at the time but now we laugh about it.. and everyone we told the story to got a hell of a laugh.

:cool:

Ok, Mr. "fuck fuck fuck shit damnit fuck!" I'm a hardass who plays lasertag!

[Buyza]

I was only cursing cause I was talking to a faggot. WAAAAAA MY THROAT HURTS!! You cough like zoolander, that little bitch cough. You act like a hardass here and on AIM but IRL you are just some scrawny landslide fuck ((

I work at an internet help desk (just while I'm in school... gotta pay the bills somehow). Anyway, I've had a few funny experiences... here's a couple:

A lady calls up and is having trouble recieving her email. I tried to test the account here and got an error. As I'm sitting there troubleshooting it, it starts working out of the blue (likely a server reset). I let the customer know, and say "Well, it looks like there was some kind of server hiccough, but you should be good to go now." To which she says: "No... I know what it was. It was that damned gremlin. Its been chasing me all over North and South Carolina." I started to chuckle, when I realized the customer was not laughing. She was dead serious. I promptly ended the call.



Another time, I'm sitting there an a guy calls and gives me his ticket number. As I'm reading over it he tells me, "This IS a problem on your end. I work in IT and I just reinstalled Windows 98 (yeah... go figure) and I am still having the same problem."

Looking through the ticket I found that his problem was that he had not been able to enter his password at the ISP's webmail site. The techs he had spoken with had tested it and found it to be working, and made some suggestions for fixing it, none of which included reinstalling the OS.

I had him go to the site, and sure enough he was able to enter his username but not his password. I had him try another webmail site. Same thing. I had him punch a bunch of random keys in the password field. Dots appeared.

I had him open WordPad. I asked him to type his password. I asked him what his password began with he said "A one." I said, "Ok, do you see the three lights on your keyboard? Is the Num Lock light on? No, go ahead and hit the Num Lock key. Ok... try to type your password."

A good 10 seconds goes by. Then I hear "You have got to be kidding me..."

Moral of the story: Just because you work in IT, dosn't mean you're not a dumbass.

Haha Im a student in IT CNS, and we do all kinds of crazy shit at our college like make ppl drag someone away from their comp and take out the track ball for the mouse. You wouldn't believe how many of them check the cords and the drivers but fail to see if the track balls still in the mouse

[Cloudwalker21]

Sitting on the subway and hearing someone say "whats the internet, some sort of microchip or something?" ...wow.

[fildien]

working at an army hospital, where the hospital commander (a full bird col.) can't remember his network password so we make it commander, and he still can't remember his password so we make it hospital, and he still can't remember so we just make it his first name......luckily he could remember that. and the scarey part is, he was a nuero surgeon.....

Jesus you are one whacky individual. You really need to take it easy on these people. Wow you're out of control.

[mirdorr]

Higher ups never can remember their passwords. A division lead here used to forget his all the time. We'd just tell him what it was over the phone, since he never changed it.
