IT SupportOur 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.

Ihave a wide range of experience with pretty much everything you've mentioned there, and some - yet STILL, I will get the "...but you work in IT, you MUST know" type people.
On one occassion I had a neighbour come round asking me to fix her dishwasher. Yep, her dishwasher. When I told her that I knew nothing about dishwashers her reply was, "...but you work in computers (yes, I work IN them??!!?), you must know how to fix it. It has a computer thingy on the front."
I think she meant LCD, but I never went to find out.

In your neighbours defenseI find that most people with an aptitude for IT support can apply that troubleshooting methodology to just about any other problem and get by. To some extend at any rate :-)
