Not so tech savvy

Today, I called Tech Support because the computer program wouldn't let me open files for my online classes. After an hour, and being walked through the downloading process multiple times. There was a pause and he said, "You're a fucking idiot." and hung up. It still won't work. FML

Aren't those conversations recorded? If that one wad he's totally gonna get fired.

thats cold... im guessing he has temperissues?

Working in tech support myself this is a complete FYL. A GOOD tech support person can do two things right 1) Diagnose the issue properly 2) Speak on a level that the user can understand He obviously failed at one of the two item above. He's mad because he sucks at his job. Its his job to work on a level that the average user can understand and work at a pace that works for you. It is not your job to understand shortcuts and lingo unfamiliar to you.

That was lame of him. I use a Mac computer and had to ask for special software to make some of my school's virtual aspects work. You don't own a mac, do you?

Everyone who thinks the tech should be fired can be summed up in the truest sign ever made for a store: "The customer is not always right. Most of the time, the customer is a clueless moron. If this sign upsets you, YOU are this moron." That applies especially to #139 Why do we have to waste our time coddling people who don't want to be called what they are? In a sane world, the OP would have been called an idiot and hung up on after a few minutes and then someone who really had an advanced problem that required professional help could be assisted sooner.

#41 "I don't know, your grammar is kind of making me want to side with the idiot part...Complete sentances much?" You misspelled sentence. Lol.

I wouldn't be surprised if the OP is a ******* idiot and was doing something wrong, not one bit.

I have no patience for the computer illiterate. NONE. The only excuse for this is if you're 82 and have never used a computer before (and even some 82 year olds get it). I don't feel sorry for you. You deserve it for not knowing how to follow directions and install a simple program.
