Do you know what PICNIC means? No, we're not talking about an alfresco meal you pack into a hamper and enjoy in a sunny field. We're talking about the acronym, because PICNIC stands for "Problem In Chair, Not In Computer." If this sounds familiar then chances are that you probably work in IT support, and if that's the case then you'll no doubt relate to these funny and sadly accurate comics by Li-Anne Dias. The Californian artist and illustrator decided to draw them after IT workers shared with her the most ridiculous things that people have said to them. Scroll down to see for yourself.

It almost sounds like a joke, but it's even worse when they are 100% serious about this

The neutral expression of the IT guy is probably best used in this image.

As an IT pro I once found a woman's show inside a computer they brought to me to fix!!! I told them that the reason the computer wasn't working was obvious: The shoe pair was missing ;) 12003959_1...b1c9ce.jpg 12003959_10207188482732117_2058058868703017105_n1-58fe492b1c9ce.jpg

You pay them because experience is the best teacher. But accumulating it requires time, and effort, which you have not accrued. After all, Time is Money in the Supply/Demand equation. :D

Probably for the reason why your hand isn't either. Tee-Hee!

Doesn't matter. You're holding your mouse upside down anyways.

...and holding the mouse back-to-front probably doesn't help either.

None of these surprise me in the least. Yes it's that bad and worse. Fun post, thank you!

That's what I used to do in university library, connect every mouse to another computer. Oh what a rascall I was!

That caption could have said..."My computer is broken, the mouse arrow is going crazy." Answer, "Because you are holding the mouse upside down."
