  • Apparently iPhones Make ID10T's Like You So S-M-R-T

    I work in the tier 1 department for ISP that won't be named and of course like any Tier 1 department you do basic technical support for email and connection issues, anything else outside of that is pretty much sorry, no can do, call your manufacturer and have a nice day, kthxbai.

    This asshole called in to setup his email on both him and his wife's iPhones. Asshole said that he had his on the POP incoming server setting and it works, but not on his wife's. I informed him that he would need to use the IMAP server setting in order for both iPhones to work. So what does this dumbass do? He proceeds to argue with me and tell me that I'm wrong and how he's right and that both should be POP server settings. I told him that he still needs to correct his settings to the IMAP setting so that both iPhones will work, but he wouldn't listen. I told him that if his wife's iPhone continues not to work, even after adjusting to the correct settings, they would need to call the manufacturer and/or their cellphone provider (we don't support 3rd party devices but we can give out the server settings for customers to setup email on there). He kept insisting it was ISP that won't be named's problem eleventy!!11!! and all that crap when really all the asshole needed to do was STFU and adjust his settings like he needed to. He demanded to speak with an executive or get info to bitch to one about his stupidity, I told him (which was true) that I didn't have that info. So numbnuts asked to speak with a supervisor. I told my supervisor the whole bit and how sucky this asshole was to CYA, but before I was able to transfer this asshole to my supervisor, he hung up. One of my co-workers on another team in my department may have had this same asshole who demanded to cancel his services with ISP that won't be name because he couldn't trouble shoot his iPhone. Dumbass.

    I'm sorry you had to deal with that.

    Just another prime example that us techs just can't fix stupid.

        Laws prevent stupid from fixing itself.

            Is this for some kinky table centerpiece for the next family barbecue? If so, you might want to get a shovel and make a fire pit too.

              Now why does this remind me of the barbeque scene that happens towards the end of Fried Green Tomatoes (towards the end of the clip)?

                  Well dearies, I am a vegetarian, so the standard "roast pig in the center of the table with apples in it's mouth" is out.

                  Then again, my family IS rather non traditional. Let's not discuss the bets passed around on my 21st birthday...

                        Let's just say my Dad was betting that I'd end up dancing topless on a table (I'd never had a drink before, and no, not shirt removal occurred. Figured I better get that out there before I got a "This thread is useless without pics :P")

                            LOL. I don't think he gets it. My best friend was betting I'd end up on the floor, someone else said something about me going home with a random guy (yes they were planning to stop me) and I don't remember the rest. Something in there about puking I think.

                              Did anyone place any bets on bottomless?

                              (I did win the bet, though. It was pure "what the hell, why not?", but I sure as wasn't gonna admit it! )
