Jun 17, 2003 | Conteúdos Em Ingles

IT REALLY HAPPENED
A help desk agent received a call from a client having trouble with his “print screen” feature. After lots of discussion, a technician was dispatched to diagnose the problem. Here’s the conversation:
Client: My “print screen” feature doesn’t work.
Tech: I’ve tested it, and it seems to be working fine.
Client: Oh, good, let me try it again.
Client presses a blank sheet of paper against the monitor screen and then pushes “print screen” key. Technician starts laughing.
Client: What’s wrong?
Tech: I’m sorry but when you push the “print screen” key the document comes out of your printer…

NOW THAT’S A BREAK
At our company, we take applications for service.
Caller: Hello, I would like to speak with Steve please.
Phone Rep: I’m sorry, Steve’s taking an “APP” right now. Is there something I can help you with?
Caller: (Irritated) Well, when Steve wakes up from his “NAP” tell him to call me!

AND THAT’S WHAT WE CALL SMOKIN’ !!
Caller: My hard drive is smoking! I think it’s on fire.
Tech: (Alarmed) Have you shut off the system?
Caller: No.
Tech: (5 Alarmed) Well, unplug the computer!
Caller: I don’t want to lose my data…
