r/Talesfromtechsupport This clueless person calls into tech support complaining that their WiFi is slow. They ask the tech support guy to refill it, like you refill gas into your car. Uh... that's not how WiFi works. Are you really that clueless? If you like this video, hit the subscribe button for more daily Reddit content!

Oh tech support...sometimes I miss having my own stories from tech support hell. My personal favorite was the financial analyst who called complaining of issues with some application, asking if it was down. After I told him it had been down a few hours back but was restored now, he got quiet for a moment then gave me his "aha" moment. He said "well you're on Eastern time and I'm in California, so if it was affecting you guys a few hours ago, it would just now be down for me." I laughed at what I thought was a good joke, only for him to go off on me for laughing because he was DEAD SERIOUS. I then had the wonderful experience of explaining to a 40 something year old man who is responsible for other peoples' money that being in a different time zone does NOT mean he is talking to the future. Good times.

You can refill your wifi with a bit bucket. Just go to your local computer store and ask the Tech for a 1 gallon bit bucket.🤣🤣🤣

My mother once asked me to change a web page for her [rolls eyes]

[@limiv5272]

My mother asks me what a browser is every time I try to help her with the computer. I think her hard drive is full

[@swetasmani]

Do have a little respect for her and patiently teach her. She’s done a lot more than that for you I’m sure. Show your gratitude and don’t mock her

[@13bgunbunny42]

@@swetasmani That's exactly what I did and do. I respect my mother deeply and I always will. I was polite and patient when I explained that if she wanted a page changed she would have to speak with the people that actually created the page. If you don't like the way that I demonstrate the way that nobody is immune to unwilling ignorance then you can take your comments elsewhere.

[@VelkanAngels]

@@swetasmani - One has nothing to do with the other... I can pull someone out of a burning building during an anthrax outbreak, and it still wouldn't be disrespectful for them to have a laugh at me constantly forgetting what I'm doing, while I'm doing it. They're two completely separate things. No need to be so negative.

[@tealOmega980]

@@krystofktd Not turning off your laptop *ever* in favour of sleep mode damages it. The damage is slow, but cumulative, and can shorten the lifespan of the machine. Computers are *designed* to shut off regularly, and certain vital proccesses are queued to happen on shutdown and only on shutdown. The SSD (solid state drive) or HDD (hard disk drive) would be hardest hit by this.

[@clairetravis1321]

For the laptop replacement story: I work in the IT industry and our company's laptops are all Lenovo ThinkPads. My own ThinkPad is a T440 from around 2013 or 2014. Out internal IT department has offered to upgrade multiple times and I tend to go full goblin mode, protective of this baby. She's been a loyal, stalwart laptop for nearly a decade and still going strong as the day she shipped!

As that LVL 1 tech, I'd mute the phone so they couldn't hear me and die, I've had a lot of similar experiences where customers just say and pronounce things so badly that I have to turn on my mic and ring it up, the worst part is having to face them afterward.

Years ago we had bad storms that took out our electricity for about 24 hours. My daughter, at the time about 3 years old, woke up and wanted to watch a video (her favorite at the time was either Schoolhouse Rock or Yellow Submarine -gotta teach 'em young!). I explained to her there was no electricity and she would need to do something else. She then asked if she could play the turtle game on the computer (Turtle Oddesy!) and I explained she needed electricity for that also. She asked me if I would play with her but I told her we had electricity at work and I needed to go in but Grandma would be able to play with her. Just as I was leaving she comes to me and says with the most serious look in her eye and says 'Mommy, would you bring home some 'lectricity from work so I can watch SpongeBob? Perfect timing, the power was restored just before I got home. I was totally her hero that day!

My dad used to work at a company that dealt in computers and I legit once saw an elderly guy come in complaining that the "cup holder" on his PC had stopped working. He meant the CD-Rom drawer. I'm still trying to wrap my head around that one

Just got this vid today. I CAN RELATE! In prehistoric times a user called me and told me the floppy disk we mailed to them didn't work. Yep it was a LONG time ago and a 5-1/2" floppy. She had never done this task before and was just subbing for someone. After some back and forth, I asked if the disk she put in the disk drive looked like a 45 RPM record. She said "Yes" and I managed to hit the mute button before I lost it. I laughed for at least 5 minutes. Then I told her we would send her a new disk via over-night delivery and she should call me and I would walk her through the process. Worked fine and she was happy.

[@PapasBlox]

That Wi-Fi one reminded me of another story where OP worked at a restaurant or some food place. In the window was a sign declaring the establishment had free WiFi for customers. One customer came in and asked for a free weefee, thinking it was some kind of promotional item.
