I do tech support for printers, and I've had the one that mentions printers several times. It's easiest for both parties just to tell them that if they wont listen to basic instructions nothing will get done.

That being said if things go too smoothly the customer will think they are idiots for not figuring it out. I often toss in a few extra minutes of troubleshooting on easy ones just to spare their ego.

I feel like Tech Support at Comcast etc do that to me all the time. I only call in when I have a real problem that I can't figure out I'm not completely computer stupid, I did take some classes in school and when they start throwing in those questions if things are going easily it just annoys me and takes up my time.
#9 to #8 - Nohelpforu (05/31/2015) [-]
nah, I'm talking about 'did you plug it in?' or things like that. Wouldnt do it to someone with basic knowledge, those people know enough that it wouldnt hurt their pride. That being said Comcast customer service is the zero-point of bad customer service to which all other are compared to.
User avatar #10 to #9 - symmiie [OP]ONLINE (05/31/2015) [-]
That's what they ask at Comcast haha. I'll be like "Yeah so I've done this this and this (not something someone without basic knowledge would know) and they'll just ignore it and start from kindergarten.
#11 to #10 - Nohelpforu (05/31/2015) [-]
yea, theres stuff techies need to know but I think your talking about some of the 'make no assumptions' question, that if we dont ask could put the call up to an hour when it could have been solved in minutes. I'm just referring to trying to spare feelings, say why things worked, what may have casued it, how to avoid it later, things like that, make it feel like they actually should have called rather then like they could have googled it.
User avatar #12 to #11 - symmiie [OP]ONLINE (05/31/2015) [-]
Yeah, explanations would be much better than just "did you unplug it and plug it back in? k. Did you do this? k." Minutes later "Oh this finally worked, thank you" "k"

10/10 would call you for support

#13 doesn't sound too bad. It's probably a senior who just got a computer or something like that.
User avatar #15 - rubiksdodecahedron (05/31/2015) [-]
#6 at least seems to realize how retarded they are

A friend says this really happened to him while working tech support.

Tech Support: How can I help you?

Customer: I'm having trouble with my Mac.

Tech Support: What kind of Mac do you have?

Customer: (as if the answer should be obvious) Well, duh! - Intosh!

You're talking to tech support, God damn it. Of course he's gonna get technical on you.
User avatar #13 - erniesin (05/31/2015) [-]
Sometimes I submit helpdesk tickets just to mess with the tech people. I'm sure most of these were just people messing with you.
User avatar #4 - wotterpatch (05/31/2015) [-]
These are all so overwhelmingly generic

Number 10 is the only one that makes me question the legitimacy of this list.
