Has a nice group of pictures of tech support nightmares.

Also, one of the Help Desk problems that happened last semester at my school (I just learned about this one last week):
This girl brought in her laptop once complaining that the keyboard and the monitor were broken.
Apparently one of her keys had broken off by itself (normal wear-and-tear, we replace that all the time). No big deal so far. Unfortunately, upon the advice of her friend, she decided to glue (super glue!) the key back into place. After doing said gesture, she immediately closed the case :wacko: When Dell (our laptop vendor) found out about this, they weren't exactly happy. The girl ended up needing a new LCD, new keyboard, new motherboard (the glue had leaked through) and a new palm rest. The only things not replaced were the bottom plastics and hard drive. The girl then proceeded to get ticked off when told that her adventure did not count as "accidental damage" and she had to pay for the replacements.
My boss still has the LCD hanging in his office.

Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
