I'm currently in the process of relocating my office, and in doing so finally going through old boxes of papers, wires, etc that have been sitting around for years. Anyways, going through some folders I came across old emails I had printed out from users, that are really just absolute Gems.

Of my favorites:

"I am not asking for general information, I am giving you some. I suggest you people try to think up any possible new ways to make the products that you are currently selling-- mostly VINYL CHLORIDE! Are you people aware that more people die every year from Vinyl Chloride than they do AIDS, Suicide, or Homicide? Well, they do. I hope you people are happy to be killing that many people, or at least for being a part of such a horrible thing!"
--from a user in 2000

another goodie:
"I do feel foolish... I'm sorry to have bothered you! I assumed (shouldn't have) that C: was my CDROM at work and I went there to install (C: was a network path). My CDROM was Z:"
--from a user in 1999, after "messing some stuff up" while trying to use a CD-ROM

anyone else have any other users who should be nominated into the Hall of Fame?

Brings me to my favorite joke:

It's the end of the day, executive secretaries have gone home.
CEO is placing some paper in the shredder, but the shredder has been turned off. He is looking all over on the shredder searching for the ON button.
Administrative assistant walks up, knows the CEO has never had to operate the shredder, and offers to help. The CEO accepts the offer.
And just as the shredder is finishing, the CEO says: "I just need one copy."

...and the Administrative Assistant began job-hunting the next morning, right? ;)

My favorite tech support email, sent by a customer, was short, sweet, and to the point:


To: support@our_isp.net
From: customer@our_isp.com
Subject: HELP

PLEASE HELP ME I CAN'T SEND EMAIL

We all just stared at it for maybe 15 minutes trying to figure out how to respond without sounding sarcastic or condescending.
