40 hours a week at DoIT- this job sometimes makes me even more ready to leave:
1) Last week:
Customer: This is my girlfriend’s computer and last week I downloaded porn on it. I started getting all sorts of pop-ups and virus notifications, but the computer still worked. Then I downloaded more porn and now the computer doesn’t work at all. What should I do?
**At this point I spent about 20 minutes removing various programs that had been downloaded onto his (girlfriend’s) computer, installing a legitimate anti-virus program onto the computer, and showing him how to run a virus scan. Then as he is leaving:
Customer: So where should I download porn so that I don’t get viruses?
!!!!!
2) This week:
Customer brought his computer in because he couldn’t stay connected to wireless networks. I turned on the machine and was waiting for it to boot up when he grabbed it away from me suddenly, turned bright red, and mumbled about having to change the background. After a while, I was able to convince him that I have seen my share of X-Rated backgrounds and he gave the computer back to me. Sure enough, a mostly-naked woman on a pink and silver background. If only the shy, very embarrassed, red-faced guy knew just how common this background was…
