Computer Probs!

Ring any bells

I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Jimmy the computer guy, to come over. Jimmy clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem. He gave me a bill for a minimum service call.

As he was walking away, I called after him, 'So, what was wrong?'

He replied, 'It was an ID ten T error.'

I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired, 'An, ID ten T error? What's that in case I need to fix it again?'

The computer guy grinned.... 'Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?'

'No,' I replied.

'Write it down,' he said, 'and I think you'll figure it out.'

So I wrote out ........ I D 1 0 T

ha ha ha, that would be me!

My friends husband once asked me to ring someone whose name was on the blotter, I did and asked a complete stranger if I could speak to Dan Gleballs!! Good job he couldn't see my face, it was very red!

Very good , xxxdk

LOL, we use that one at work all the time. There's another one as well that we call EBKAC translates to error between keyboard and chair (user error)

LOL, not computer related but where Christopher works,(he's a joiner) and they had a works experience lad in a few weeks ago and they sent him off for all sort of usual thing like sky hooks, but the one that made me giggle was a skirting board ladder

love it

Years ago I sent a works experience lad to the electrical supplies to get a left handed electrical screwdriver and a reel of reverse flow cable.

My brother and his mates sent the apprentice for a 'bubble for a spirit level' and to the local shop for a 'jar of pickled foreskins'!!

in relation to computer errors, the usual one we used at work was a RTFM error - read the f*****ng manual - surprisingly no-one ever coped it not even the boss (although he wasnt the sharpest tool in the shed anyway!)
