Default English mother!@#$...do you speak it? Official work rant thread

I can't get online
So you are not able to get online using Internet Explorer?
Yes

I am sorry to hear that, can you disable your firewall?
Sure.

Ok, now try to get online
How do I do that?
I am sorry, how do you do you what? I didn't understand what you said.
Oh, I am sorry. Can you try to access the internet using Internet Explorer?
I don't know how to do that.

Oh, I thought you said you couldn't get on using Internet Explorer a second ago.
I couldn't get on where?
Can you hear me ok?
Yes, I can hear you.
Can you try to access the internet using the Internet Explorer program?
I am sorry, what was that? I can't understand you.
[Speaking slowly] Can you try to access the internet using Internet Explorer.

Ok, I am not a computer nerd, you are speaking greek to me.
I was under the impression that you couldn't get on the internet using your Internet Explorer program.
Yes, I am not able to get online. It said page cannot be displayed.
Ok, so can you try again?
I am sorry, I don't know what you want me to do

:doh:

Yes, this is an actual conversation. The guy speaks English, but he was so damn clueless I had to repeat everything 3 times almost and he still didn't know what I was talking about even though I only asked him to do what he tried to do a few minutes ago.

[Insert your rant about work below]

Bish....:fawk:

I told my bosses that if it wasn't for the really good hours I have here....I would have resigned a while back...LOL

I mean, where else can I work from 6am-3pm and get paid what I get paid. Sure the stress sucks....but I only need to endure this for 1 more year

I don't have a job...

But somebody called my house yesterday asking for me, and I answered it and it was some lady who sounded a little tipsy and she wanted to know if I gave cab rides. Tipsy people.

Here's one I just got

Ok, let me help you fix this problem
Wait, I don't have time right now and I am not infront of my PC

:eh:

Can you call us back when you do have time?
No, I don't want to call you back. I just want you to know that I can't get online and I can't get my email
Right, I apologize for the inconvenience. This is why we need to troubleshoot the problem
Ok, I can't get online and I can't get email
Right, so can we troubleshoot this problem right now?
No, and I don't want to call you back
Well, unfortunately I will be unable to assist you if you cannot access your PC. Please do call us when you have the time.
Thanks for nothing....

OK....so why the hell did you call if you are unwilling and unable to do anything? Do you think telling me the problem 3-4 times will help? No. It's like going to the mechanic without your car and expecting him to fix it.
