More Work Order Fail

[phrogg.livejournal.com]

toxico's entry reminded me of one particular work order i came across a few days ago. The particular details of this one are slightly fuzzy by now, but let's assume this fellow's name was Joe Snuffy.

WO# xxxxxx
Requestor: JOE SNUFFY
Summary: JOE SNUFFY
Contact #: JOE SNUFFY
Description: (care to take a stab? That's right...) JOE SNUFFY.

This nitwit entered his own name in every field. So not only did he give us absolutely no information on the issue (aside from the fact that he is, indeed, a moron), he also reminded me alot of Bob Dole giving a speech as i read through the ticket. "Bob Dole. Bob Dole, Bob Dole..."

Apparently, this isn't the first time he's done this, either.

I begged for permission to simply close this one out, putting my OWN name in caps for a resolution, but my boss recognized the name and dug up his number so that i could actually call and find out what his malfunction was. :(

So, did he answer the phone with his name? Or better yet - in keeping with the Bob Dole reference - complain about his problem and resist help?

"Joe Snuffy can't open his email. Joe Snuffy doesn't have time for this! Delete what? Joe Snuffy doesn't want to delete his profile; Joe Snuffy likes his profile! Looks svelte; looks mean! You're gonna have to show Joe Snuffy Dole where the Control Panel is. Why can'tcha do it for Joe Snuffy?! Be a lot easier that way; I know it, you know it and the people at home know it!"

I can't stop fucking laughing at this. And now I'm thinking of Oog

"So there me was beating boulder into powder because me couldn't eat it, and magic ball land in lap. Naturally me think, "All right, free egg." because me stupid and me caveman.

So me spent about three days humping and bust open with thigh bone so me could eat it good, then magic ball shoot Joe Snuffy with beam, and next thing me know, me go out and invent wheel out of dinosaur brain! Magic dino wheel roll for three short distance until me eat it; the point is, me get smarter.

Soon me walk upright, me feather back dirty matted hair into wings for style, and me stop to use bathroom as opposed to me just doing it as me walk."

Ah yes, Oog. I remember laughing heartily when I first came across that page.

After typing that up, I can't help but think that Joe Snuffy must sound like a cross between Bob Dole and Scruffy the Janitor from Futurama.

Oh good lord. That's not a good mental image to spring on someone who's finishing up an 8 hour graveyard shift. Now I have images of Bob Dole with scruffy's pink spiked hairdo, leafing through a copy of jugs

"Bob Dole's gonna die the way he lived!"

[taleya.livejournal.com]

Bob Dole believes in this company *wipes tear*

"I don't even know who this guy is!"

"Bob Dole... the senator."

Ok guys that was awesome and I am so happy my coworker is on vacation so he didnt see me nearly fall out of my chair laughing :D

[trayce.livejournal.com]

Me too but I'm wondering if thats because (I think) the same guy does both voices :)

[trayce.livejournal.com]

Err that is, they've had Bob Dole's head in a jar on the show and he sounded rather like scruffy.

[reynardo.livejournal.com]

Oh the temptation to just start saying "Malkovich" to everything...

[phrogg.livejournal.com]

Aah! Another fitting reference!

[nem0.livejournal.com]

Maybe he's a Pokemon.

JOE SNUFFY! JOE JOE! SNUFFY JOE-- as what the heck am I saying?! This is bull!

Pikachu: "just say the lines, Joe! Or they'll give you the gas!

Icon=win. Richard is my hero. I want to be just like him when I grow up. And die. And get resurrected as an undead warlock.

[fallconsmate.livejournal.com]

wait, wait....if you get resurrected, are you really still dead? the mind boggles.

either that or the cat has pestered me till my brain is as dead as JOE SNUFFY's. ;)

I moderate the user suggestions forum for a popular online social media service. It has some fields in a form you can fill in. One user filled the fields with the same two words over and over. Both of the words were in Russian, which I read approximately two words of (not those two). Google Translate informed me that one of the words was "advertisements", but refused to translate the other, although it did point out that whatever it was, it was in caps lock. I eventually found the other word in a cached page from http://russiancursing.com.

My immediate supervisor thought this was the funniest thing ever, and the team chat soon developed some capslocked Russian words in the topic. Everything was operating as normal until one of the Russian engineers wandered into chat...

Hee! I didn't know about the Russian dev part of it....

[azurelunatic]

He didn't exactly offer to wash out mouths with soap, but that was the general impression he left.

MAAAAAAAATT DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[reanimated.livejournal.com]

i love the customers i get who respond to the pre-chat survey question: "what would you like help with during this chat session?" by saying "yes." oh okay then.

[jjjiii]

You need to snuff him out.

Now there you go again, forgetting Adm. Hopper's apocryphal dictum: "It is easier to get forgiveness than to get permission."

[ravenofdreams.livejournal.com]

Indeed. I would have just done it (for the amusement value alone, if nothing else) and hang the consequences.
