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.

This guy calls up, american chap, sounded a bit stoned but to me, most americans sound a bit stoned
"yeah I was using the (fancy insurance claim application I can't remember the name of now) and then I noticed this bug on my screen"
"A bug?"
"yeah, a real big one, like a spider or something"
"You're calling because there's a bug sitting on your monitor?"
"No, not on the screen, IN the screen, down near the bottom"
"what happens when you turn the screen off?"
"It goes dark, I can't see it"
"Hmm, I think maybe you should call the janitor"
"ok, hey I turned the screen back on, the bugs flashing at me now"
"flashing?" (visions of a spider with a dirty mac float through my brain"
"yeah, just blinking"
"Can you click on it with the mouse?"
"lemme try, oh now it says "printer out of ink""
Mystery solved
