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.

Shaken Not StirredAt my delightful place of work, every 2 weeks they interview a member of staff about their general interests. A couple of weeks ago they interviewed a relatively new member of the IT team.
Now despite being new to the company this fella has set his stall out to be ridiculously sleazy and watching him clumsily and publicly fail to chat up the latest temp is like watching an episode of The Office in terms of cringiness.
I wont publish all his answers but I'll divulge that they all rank highly in sexism (Favourite things to do? - "Women and girls") but my absolute favourite is that when quizzed on who would play him in a film of his life, he chose someone who's not even real - James Bond.
Yes, in my IT colleagues tiny broadband fried mind, James Bond would leap at the chance to play a man in his late 40's who works in a junior IT role - ace.

HaCringe-worthy chat up attempts, ahh been there. I'm suitably embarrassed and ashamed nowadays.
As for Bond, that reminds me of a temporary assistant I had once. Whenever he solved a problem in his programming, in the quiet office otherwise only occupied with the sounds of tappity-tap and the whirring of a couple of computers, he'd suddenly exclaim "I yam a geeeeeeeeenius!" or "I yam eenveeeeeeencible!" and crack his knuckles.
