Here's one that happened to me today:

A user called saying her computer wasn't booting up (which is wasn't). I get there, determine it's a bad power supply, and grab the tower to take with me back to the nerd lair. Before I go, I set her up at what we call a hoteling desk. A hoteling desk is an empty seat that has a computer there so someone who's visiting can log into the network, check email, and work. (outlook is automatically setup when you login and everyones my documents folder is mapped to a network drive so you can access it from any pc you log into). Before I leave the area someone see's me and begins asking me a question about their computer which I answer for them. On my way out the original girl tells me there's something wrong with the hoteling pc too. I ask her to show me whats wrong and she's able to login to the computer ok, but once she logs in she can't remote into her own computer...the one I'm holding under my arm.

this may be an urban legend, but i heard from a tow truck driver about a call that they responded to ....a girl had been locked out of her car because the battery in her remote died. the driver arrived, took the key from her hand, and inserted it into the lock.......turned it...and voila.

it's stupid enough to have actually happened....but....i was skeptical.

Oh, I believe it. He probably charged her $85 too.

Looks to me like they already are.

Wow. It's kind of awesome in a spoiled brat/drunken lout kind of way.
