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.

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.'"

Linux just needs the right incantation. Bash it on the head and apply some vim and vigour.

I once had to reinstall Windows. I didn't lose anything. It's called 'backing up the files, first'.

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.
