This is a question IT Support

Our IT support guy has been in the job since 1979, and never misses an opportunity to pick up a mouse and say "Hello computer" into it, Star Trek-style. Tell us your tales from the IT support cupboard, either from within or without.

Repost, but it's from eons ago and deserves to be retold.
The brother of my best friend at school ran a business computer company in the DOS & Windows 3.1 days. one afternoon a customer who had bought a computer called in.

The conversation went pretty much as follows:
Techy: How can I help?
Woman: My computer won't work!
Techy: Can you be more specific please?
Woman: I don't know whats wrong, it's being weird and it won't do what I want!
Techy: Are there any messages on the screen?
woman: Well, it says my himen has been broken.

The phone was subsequently slammed down and the techy burst into fits of laughter, he barely managed to relay the story to his co-workers, who all burst out laughing too.
Moments later the phone rang, they managed to regain their composure and answer. The same woman was on the phone. 'Hello? I think we got disconnected, can you help me with my broken himen please?

She was helped in the end, but i could never look at Himem errors in the same light again.

Same story.
We used to have a customer who often visited the repair shop I worked at, she told another customer in the shop that I was great because I'd helped her out after her hymen went missing.

No Clicky for nicking my story but thanks for reminding me of her.
