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.
As someone on the Spiceworks IT community observed, “The best one is the story about the boss who doesn’t know how to use Outlook, so they make their employees print out all of their emails. Then this manager handwrites replies and makes others input these written letters back into the email client. Efficient right?”

Many of those are no longer in common use. But I agree with the post.

They could have replaced them with things in current use.

I got a new monitor and it only has one input. I did not have a cable to go from my old laptop to new monitor. My old monitor has VGA, HDMI or DVI. Old monitor is back on desk until i can buy cable.

My new monitors have HDMI and DP only. Laptop has HDMI only. Docking station has DP only. Was miffed when the docking station wouldn't drive both monitors at full resolution (4k). So one runs on DP and the other on HDMI at half the refresh rate! And I had to go and buy another cable!

We need more USB ports and to be able to plug the charger on the right side

I'm planning to get a USB hub that has its own AC plug. That'll expand capacity plenty!

There are lots of other brands than Apple out there that don't try to screw you over for more money every chance you give them.

Yeah, a room filled with cords for the unwary to trip over. I bought a desktop. I was asked if I wanted a DVD/CD player. I said, "Yes, please". Voila. You can't go down to something that fits in your back pocket AND have unlimited ability to attach stuff. That's why they developed Bluetooth. And Wi-Fi.

To be fair you can buy a USB-C hub and the top one will weigh significantly less than the bottom one.

Still defeats the purpose of having a portable computer when you have to plug in a bunch of adapters to hang off of it instead of having jacks built in.

They're called USB hubs; there are a few different sizes. Check the website of your favourite computer store.

The hilarious video clocked over a million views, and the comments were pure gold. People jumped on the bandwidth wagon to share their own experiences of working in the industry.
"'My screen isn't showing anything!' The computer was turned off," said one.
"'My computer is not turning on!' 'Is it plugged in?' 'Of course! I'm not stupid!' It wasn't. The cable was plugged into the computer but not into an outlet," commented another.
“This lady calls and says she can't print a document,” relayed one person.“We've been on the phone for thirty minutes before I asked her if the printer is even plugged in. Her response? 'What printer? I don't have a printer.'"

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.
