Raul Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 CIOs were asked, “What is the strangest or most unusual request you or a member of your help desk or technical support team has ever received?” Their responses included:* “Why isn?t my wireless mouse connected to the computer?”* “My laptop was run over by a truck. What should I do?”* “Can you rearrange the keyboard alphabetically?”* “How do I read my e-mail?”* “My computer is telling me to press any key to continue. Where is the ?any? key?”* “Can you reset the Internet for me?”* “There are animal crackers in my CD-ROM drive.”* “Can you build me a robot?”Some end users called to report problems with mice -- not the electronic kind -- and other pests. To wit:* “Can you get the mice out of the ceiling?”* “A server went down, and I found a lizard had crawled into it and died.”* “A skunk ate my cable.”Other requests signal more trouble than just a technical glitch. Here are some examples:* “How can I block e-mail from my manager?”* “Can I open the bank safe using my computer?”* “Can you install cable TV on my PC?”* “Can you order joysticks so that we can play video games?”* “I?d like to stop receiving e-mail on Fridays.”Help desk professionals are known for lending a hand, but these end users took the concept too far:* “Can you come and install my car stereo?”* “Where can I locate dry ice?”* “I?d like wireless computer access in my motor home.”* “Can you fix my typewriter?”* “How long does it take to bake a potato in a microwave?”* “My daughter is locked in the bathroom, can you pick the lock?”* “Can you tell me the weather forecast for next year?”* “The elevator is broken.”* “How do I wire a robotic turkey?”* “Where can I get software to track UFOs?”* “Can you repair my motorbike?”
