Ahh, Help Desk.

Sometimes we have a call we call the "Call of the Day". Today's....

Problem: I cannot log into the Application Portal. The page doesn't work right.
Actual Problem: Client is trying to log into a JPG.

WINNER!!

OMFG, that is hilarious.

Sadder thing is that is what happens, I can't put my finger on it, but some similar incident happened at my high school someone tried to do some whacked-up thing that couldn't be done.

Yeah, I took the call. It was from a rather distressed woman who thought that the web page wasn't working because she'd missed a deadline -- although there wasn't even a deadline as such.

There was however a date for a transition to a slightly upgraded system. An email was sent out to everyone about it, and the changes they should expect. It was this email that was the source of both the "deadline" and the "faulty login page"

We had included a screenshot of the page to let users know in advance what to expect. It was this screenshot that she was attempting to log into.

Given that most of the time JPGs are opened in your default browser, all I have to say is your department brought that stupid question upon itself .

No, I don't blame Applications (author of the email) -- it says clearly that it is an example if the user had bothered to actually read the email properly They seem to have instead read selectively.

I dunno... maybe someone should have put this over the image:

THIS IS NOT A WEBPAGE. IT'S JUST AN IMAGE (DUMBASS)

They probably wouldn't read that either.

I've noticed that clients never seem to read the really important bits; they just seem to read the general information, and then panic over a minor, insignificant detail.

Speaking of horrible calls, I used to work customer service for Valero, a chain of gas stations. A gas-card holder called in with one simple question: "Where do I put the gas?"

*Metal Man88 attempts to log into an mp3

*BZAP* Ow! Seriously, you'd think they'd realize it was a picture sometime.

Then again, these are the same people who get tricked by phishing emails. So.... bleh.

...

What. I don't even own a car, and I know how to put gas in.

And how the hell do you even try to log into a jpeg? I don't have the slightest damn idea what she was doing. XD

Neither can I. Then again, that might be because I'm 15...

My guess is that because she'd interpreted something else as a deadline-- she was panicking.

I can't really laugh at this. Why? Well, one time I was looking to change my desktop back to something I had had it as before.

EE: "Hmm, let's see here. Ah, 'desktopXXXXX.jpg', there it is." *Changes desktop to this image* (XXXXX was a date of some kind)

What I had actually changed it to was a SCREENSHOT of my previous desktop. Panic briefly ensued when none of my icons worked, until I eventually figured out what I had done.
