I work at a help desk.
Today, someone called in to ask,
"I JUST ACCIDENTALLY THE WHOLE COMPUTER. IS THIS BAD?"
It was the only prank call I've gotten so far, surprisingly.. :D

This sounds like a job for... MadLibs!
"I JUST ACCIDENTALLY (noun) THE WHOLE COMPUTER!"

Deleted?
Exploded?
Nuked?
Ate?
SWALLOWED?

verb :)

I got what I was pretty sure was the best prank call ever a few days ago.

"Support center, this is demented_pants. May I have your username, please?"
"Nooooooooooo!" *click*

Noun could be entertaining there too. "I just accidentally PANTS the whole computer!"

[blaue-katze.livejournal.com]

I just accidentally WANG the whole computer?

[azurelunatic]

And then there's that which is both a noun and verb: "I just accidentally CHUCK NORRIS the whole computer!"

Heh. I used to work for AAPT, and as any aussie reading this would know they have (had?) an ad-meme/jingle thing that went "A!A!A A P! A A P T! SMARTCHAT!" in a kind of cheerleader stylee.

Someone once rang the helpdesk, I answered, they yelled that down the phone at me, and then hung up.

I think I laughed for about 10 minutes :)

I told them that "Yes, it is VERY bad"... I think they were disappointed that I didn't ask them "You accidentally -what- the whole computer?"

Best prank call I ever heard at a help desk was the time the Fiber line was backhoed by a construction crew and the internet was down. Someone called the helpdesk and just yelled "I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE! GOODBYE WORLD!"

Ell oh ell.

(Did you laugh right away or get the full Bel-Air?)

[blaue-katze.livejournal.com]

I kept a straight face the whole time when answering them...until they finally hung up. :D

You know, I would just LOVE to heard somebody answer the phone at the support desk with "demented pants" for real :-)

[phrogg.livejournal.com]

You're right. I lose.

*head-desk*

[blaue-katze.livejournal.com]

I am so surprised that did not happen the other day when some construction backhoed the cable,internet,and phones to some dorms...

If I ever get a call like that again... maybe I can play tech support madlibs :D..

Aaagh now I can't keep singing it in my head.

Hey, what about "Dodo, internet that FLIES!"?
