r/Talesfromtechsupport 'DELETE MY ACCOUNT NOW!' 'lol ok'

r/Talesfromtechsupport In today's episode, OP is working tech support and gets a call from a particularly nasty Karen who immediately starts making crazy demands. When OP explains that she's making impossible requests, the Karen flips out and orders OP to delete her account... her whole account, including the back-ups of all her data. Sure thing, ma'am! I'll delete all of your extremely important business information right away! Be careful what you wish for Karen, because you just might get it!

Can we get a standing ovation for the boss who went "go ahead and delete it" to the guy, just to stick it to that Karen? What a mad lad.

I feel so bad for the last girl. She didnt know that shortcut existed

[sonicrunnr]

That mail story is like dominos. One tiny fail resulted in the absolute meltdown of the servers.
*(And the implication is that it happened AGAIN)*

[DevastatingWarrior]

"Delete the backup and pretend it never existed"

Ngl, I quite like that manager xD

[mykookie]

I dont often understand the technical part of these stories, yet I still find them very amusing

“Our next post is from RockyMoose” wait wasn’t that the guy from ProRevenge that got screwed over by his landlord so when he got a new job he convinced his boss to not get a condo from said landlord? And then he had the boss repeat back the exact words the landlord told RM? Something about “you don’t have to like it, you just have to deal with it”?
Rewatching all of rSlash’s videos repeatedly I’ve noticed some of the OP’s show up multiple times. It’s wild

[DigitalWraith]

That last story: Poor girl. Those shortcut commands are really helpful though.

[WardNightstone]

i legitimately feel bad for the woman in the last story it's clear she just wasted 8 days do to not knowing about a command function

Hey shout out to rSlashs one entitled parents video where the Karen "called out from across the room" so rSlash went across the room and yelled "EXCUUUSE MEEE" and it just made my year

[NathanielKempson]

Remember that scene in the IT Crowd where Jen has a screen full of viruses and pop ups? She says thats how she likes it?

My nans laptop was like that once and she wouldnt let me wipe the hard drive and start again because she didnt want to "loose the internet and emails"

[PokemonProfessorTony]

OK, this video actually taught me a new command. I didn't know CTRL + H was "Find and Replace." Very useful!

As a guy who knows about computers, the moment they mentioned the auto-responders, I thought "Wait. Won't they end up responding to each other if they respond to everything sent to them?" I love it.

rSlash: *reads subreddits*
Also rSlash:
"What's this, a crossover episode?"

[HaydenDuty]

I work IT,
I once had a user who would move his emails to a new pst file he created and stored on his desktop. This is generally a bad idea because it means the data is no longer on our email system, amongst many other reasons. He one day called me in saying outlook was giving him an error saying these files cant be opened. i go to the folder on his desktop he made for them and they were missing. i asked him if he knew what happened to them, he said "i was cleaning my desktop up and i deleted them" ...He deleted the files HE created and was wondered why they were missing. I was able to recover the data, but sometimes i just dont have a clue what users are thinking.

Good luck running my license! 😂😂

I also lost it at the auto responses

[calebgoodman]

That last story is more sad than funny. If she was working that hard nonstop for eight days it must have been hard.

[KalliOnline]

as someone who works in IT, stories about auto responders death cycling each other are honestly my favorite xD

[umbra]

The CRT monitor story seems like a crossover between r/IDontWorkHereLady and r/ChoosingBeggars

Customer: “A phone jack IS a network jack! They look the same to me, so they MUST be the same! YOU’RE the tech person, how could you not know THAT?!?”

[marcelrobinson]

Moral of the second story, don't send apartment inquiries using your work email.
