Tech Support: “It seems as though your operating system was installed backwards.”
Me: “So?”
Because he must turn it on
It's the only way to parrot.
Outlook not good.
He needed help connecting to the web
It's a bad case.
I'm always missing cookies when they leave
They both work with routers on a regular basis.
I asked her to please thaw it out.
Let's see how displays out
Got a text from a friend trying to sell his iPhone: "Hey, any thoughts on how to unlock this iPhone? I've looked online and can't figure it out."
I responded in helpful dad fashion: "Did you try the key?"
My mom was on the phone with tech support and suddenly got disconnected, so she said, "Please call me back". And like all good fathers should, my dad called her "back" for the rest of the day.
Tech Knuckle Support.
Me (Tech Support): Did you laugh?
I told my wife about a recent story in /r/TalesFromTechSupport about a late-night alarm going off at work. She told me that at one of her previous employers, a turkey had flown through a window.
Her: I knew about it because I worked for the general counsel and she had to know about it.
Me: In case the turkey tried to sue?
Her: In case it was fowl play.

Just heard this from a fellow coworker a few minutes ago:
I work on a team that have two "Nicks" in the office. One works in tech support and the other is a paralegal. We all work in the same vicinity. My supervisor was showing her frustration about a program that was not working right and she immediately asked for Nick (tech Nick). Paralegal Nick answered her call but she said that she it was asking for the other Nick.
My coworker, without a beat, said, "We might need to come up with new nicknames."
I'm in Tech Support for a major Networking company. Just had a conversation with my Dad. For context, I'm also a Dad.
Background, I work for a relatively large University as front line tech support for Staff and Students, walk up, phone, email, chat, etc.
Today was first day of classes so a large number of students and staff passed through our doors. Walk-ups take a number then we can press a button on our system to claim the next number and we can call them.
We had extra help today so not all of the tickets that were pushed were called.
I pull up my ticket system start clicking and calling, a lot of them, no response. I get to 404, call it out, no response so I repeat it and "Not Found? ok".
So I do tech support type stuff for a local company and they were having an issue with the phone, and we resolved that the problem was not the phone, nor the wire. We next tested the phone jack....sure enough, there's the problem. I could hardly contain myself when I told the manager that I found the problem.
"What is it?", he asked.
"It looks like you're one jack off!"
Cracked me up!
Outlook not good...
