I had this very important case coming up so I was using my home computer at home to work on it. I had it almost finished and everything was fine. I was going back over it checking when disaster struck. I had Holly my 200 hundred Doberman and Lars my cat in the apartment with me. They startes a dog and cat fight. Holly crashed into my computer. After picking it up off the floor I discovered somehow all my data had been eraded.

I was helping a dial up customer try and connect to the internet and the customer was getting 691 username/pass error over and over. After 20 minutes or trying to get the customer to type in the right password, I tested their login from our call center office and was able to connect so I knew it should work.

The customers password was something like login07 so I repeated back to the customer “Ok. Let’s try this one more time l-o-g-i-n-ZERO-7.” The customer comes back “is that the big ZERO or the little ZERO?”.

Last year my sister died, and to make me feel better, my hubby bought me a laptop, something we really shoudn’t have bought (4 kids with many wants & needs come first!) but it was so cool, now I didn’t have to be glued down to the desk to be on the computer. Only a few months after I got it, it just totally went dead. I took it back to the place I got it, (no names but it starts with a B and a B). 2 weeks later, with major computer withdrawl, I went to pick it up and it was still broken. Sent back again, and then again another time. Finally it came back working, but it is not right. I was so sick of a certain crew I won’t name but I will call the “Weak Squad” I just took the computer and deal with it acting up all the time now. It just sucks to get something SO nice and have it be a big fat lemon.

Having been a gamer for years, I typically build out my own hardware. However, it was neccessary to have my company’s IT guy install a proprietary program for remote linkage, sooo…after about three hours (of assorted cursing and swearing) he hunts me down to find out why my (inferior, home-made) machine kept shutting down on him (couldn’t possibly be ANYTHING he was doing, right?) While lecturing me on the evils of ‘homebuilding’,watercooling, and over-clocking dual core chips and video cards…I noticed a large 3-prong plug laying on the floor. “I think that has to go in the surge gaurd” I said…”"What the hell could that have to do with anything?” he said… “Oh, it’s the pond pump that powers the internal cooling…” “and that’s an FX2 chip you just fried….

I love new technology – it is our friend – when it works right and you know what your are doing – which is NOT me!

Not really any funny stories like previous posters, but I have managed to spill coffee and completely fry three keyboards at work and one at home. Needless to say, I keep my coffee far away from the keyboard now.
