Greatest.. moment... ever

[demented-pants.livejournal.com]

So I'm at work for my $InstitutionofHigherLearning, right?

And so I get this call:

Me: "Thank you for calling $SupportCenter, this is demented_pants. May I have your username?"
Caller: "This is $Guy'sname from $mobileprovider. I have a student on the line and I'm trying to help him set up his $mobiledevice with his university email."
Me: "Okay, great, let's get him on the line and we'll set things up."

So the guy gets the university user on the line and we get him set up with what he needs to know that's specific to the university system, and then I hand him off to the other support guy and hang up.

Then, because that is the most awesome thing ever, I tell my coworker who's in what just happened.

Coworker: "Yo dawg, we herd you like tech support..."

I just about died. :D

So you can troubleshoot while you troubleshoot?

I...don't get the greatest moment here...

The fact that either you or your co-worker aren't that great at basic English?

Meh...

It's an internet meme, (a 4chan meme?) which goes "Yo dawg, I herd you like X so I put an X in your X so you could Y while you Y."

In this case, the student had $Guy put a techsupport call in his techsupport call so he could have his settings fixed while he had his settings fixed.

that certainly sounds 4chan-ish.

I thought it was something akin to the oft-abused "i hurd u liek mudkips" or some such.

Me too. Though, a couple years ago when deviantart changed everyone's icon to an "I herd u liek Mudkipz" icon, I saved it and kept it. Been there ever since.
