Tension Breaker

Ladies and gentlemen.... your web browser is not the internet. Calling me to tell me the internet keeps closing itself does not engender happy thoughts.

I shall now attempt to remember the code I was writing.

Internet? Can't you get one of those on a CD?

My version of that call is having to explain the difference between the big blue E and the butterfly to people. "I need you to be using IE, the MSN browser does not work for our web portal." "But that's the internet!!!!!"

Perhaps their data tube is clogged with hair? Or porn.

LOLZ.

It doesn't help that the person in question has the most annoying whiny voice ever.

Off topic but could I steal your icon (credt given, of course)?

[gremlingirl.livejournal.com]

Shure. I done stoled it myself. :)

This reminded me of a recent one at work where user thought that internet = being on our network. Much head desk ensued trying to explain the difference.

I had a user who couldn't load a website in IE, so I opened Firefox and it loaded fine. His response:
"I never knew there was more than one internet! I shall just use this internet now. You fix all my problems."

I love it when I ask them, what program do you use to view the internet? 'Oh use Google" O.o *Sigh* But yeah, I feel for you!

"My hotmail isn't working."

Me: "Oh, that's a shame."

Then I laugh as I write her up for personal use of a company computer on company time.

So one time I'm trying to show something on the web to the CTO in my division (yeah, it's that bad) and he had like 60 windows open and his system was already crawling. So he clicked the icon for Internet Exploder (duh). The computer thought for a while, and then as the window started to slooooowly rasterize he said, "Hmmm, it looks like the internet is a little slow today."

Yeah, did I mention that this guy is the CTO?

Maybe it was the tubes?
