Have you ever gone into a flat panic, because you’re on deadline, and your computer just said “No!” You call the IT department, and the first thing they ask is… you guessed it: “Have you tried switching it off and back on again?” Voila! It works. And the person on the other end of the line is probably rolling their eyes. For the fourth time that day.

Answering calls like these are a big part of an IT guy or girl’s job. But there’s a lot more that goes into being an information technology specialist. Some of it is mundane, some is exciting, and then there problems that are just mind-boggling. It can help to tackle the tech troubles with a good dose of giggles. And that's where Facebook page, IT humor & Memes comes in.

With over 1.5 million followers, the page describes itself as "Just a small corner in the big Facebook world to let loose a little steam and escape." Keep scrolling for Bored Panda's pick of the funniest posts, and don't forget to upvote the ones that gave your laughter system a much-needed reboot.

People working in IT seem to have anecdotes for days. In one hilarious animated viral YouTube video, a guy bemoans his day job, saying that “working entry-level IT is maybe the most soul-crushing, put-your-brain-into-a-blender thing you can do.” He goes on to complain that everyone expects him to be some “Computer Jesus”.

Alex Meyers then relays some of his worst moments, which drove him absolutely nuts, but gave us a good chuckle. First, the “Computer Jesus” tells how he spent half an hour on the phone with someone, only for them to tell him that the program they were having issues with isn’t actually installed on the computer in front of them.

Look, even if he wanted to spend his spare time fixing your s**t, printers are a whole different thing. They run on hexes and desperate prayers.

Eh. This wouldn't bother me. I've worn off the letters on my keyboard and didn't notice until someone who wasn't a touch typist wanted to use my computer. It was funny to me.
