Dude! This is funny. As an IT Service Management “Professional” read, IT Support Weenie. I have had situations like this and more. Craziest…. “My Monitor is broken.” Screen black, little green light off. Power On…. fixed! Idiot!

Try haiku:

Chaos reigns within
Repent, reflect, reboot
Order will return

my favorite people are IT guys. I always feel bad for my two favorite people at work – someone is always at their desks with “my outlook keeps crashing” or “the printer is doing weird things”. I hope those weird things involve disco balls and goats.

I think you might have that YSB virus that’s going around. I’ll patch that up.

I think you have the YSBAYF … etc.

YSB = Ya shit’s broke!
YSBAYF = Ya shit’s broke.. and its yo’ fault!

“Dummy mode on.” Of course, that always assumes there’s a dummy mode off.

I love that the guy automatically blames spy ware. No, it couldn’t possibly be you. No. Never.

Maybe you should have gone with that. You agree with him, look at the computer, and ‘find out’ it’s so infected with spyware and worms and trojan horses (and anything said in the movie Hackers) from hackers in their system. “Try to get the system back”. Play some techno as you try to ‘beat the viruses’ by typing really fast and playing little animations that show you battling the viruses.

Then, and only then, give the good news and the bad news. The good news is that you beat the hackers and saved their computer. The bad news is: that all their files were erased except for a few porno files that didn’t even exist beforehand.

There’s a little BOFH deep within all of us.
