When the conductor on the train wakes me up so he can see my ticket for the second time. Just let me sleep already

Also, when my phone decides I no longer have internet access, even though I quite clearly do.

Three midterms next week.
Well, one of them is a quiz, but it's 50 minutes worth 10%, so it's a midterm any sense.
^ That and another in the same day, and the third one the next day right after.

It sucks.

Yeah, mine are back to back to back, test,quiz,test.
So not excited.

Not exactly pissing me off, but...

It's getting colder T_T

^ Sharp temperature changes suck in general.

The stupid official copy of the anthology I got (the one without the rip off pricing) doesn't contain most of the short stories needed in class -_-.

People who have both viruses on their machine and my email address on file. The last few days I've gotten 200+ undeliverable emails bounced back to me, which pretty much means that something somewhere is spoofing my email address. I'm assuming it's one of my family members but it could be anyone. Annoying.

Technical support.
No matter what your problem or experience is, you have to go trough all the levels and all the questions designed for senile seniors.

AceHigh · « **Reply #6314 on:** October 01, 2012, 03:56:47 PM »

My friend worked at the support before he found a job that didn't depress him. Know that people working there often want to help you, but are not allowed by their bosses and will waste your time and attempt to redirect you to the type of support that you pay for or otherwise milk you for money.

Yeah, management and the technical support culture pisses me off too.

elvikun · « **Reply #6315 on:** October 01, 2012, 04:46:31 PM »

I'm well aware they have to follow certain guidelines, but man oh man. Spending over 60 minutes on phone just to learn that what I said is the problem at the very start is the problem... That is just frustrating.

It's like the Dell TS.
"Hello, I think something is wrong with my graphic card, I'm getting a black screen when I turn the computer on."
-"Very well, what does it say on the screen?"
"Nothing, I just said that."
-"Please restart your computer."
"I just did that, it's still just a black screen."
-"What error number does it say on your screen?"
" ... "
*15 hours later*
-"It would seem something is wrong with your graphic card, let us send the technician with replacement."

I'm a big fan of Asus', you just have to call to get a number, and then you write the actual technician a note saying wtf is going on, and they fix it.

Belmakar · « **Reply #6317 on:** October 01, 2012, 07:18:32 PM »

I'm a big fan of fixing it myself (even if that means buying new parts... there are definitely worse excuses for upgrading ones computer) or (if it is a minor issue like IE, which I don't use normally, not being able to load pages with untrusted SSL certificates) ignoring it...

btw: those procedures are there for a reason... 90% of all support calls are for stupid reasons like a turned off screen, a turned off pc, the screen not being connected to the pc, the screen not being connected to the power supply, the pc not being connected to the power supply, an accidentally moved file, an accidentally renamed file, and so on...

OnT: My cold

elvikun · « **Reply #6318 on:** October 01, 2012, 07:25:12 PM »

Well, from my experience, the one good thing about Dell is that when something blows up (HW), they give you replacement that is better than the original. But the rest is pretty much what the topic title says.

And fixing it yourself is cool, but personally, I do not dare to open my laptop and delve into it's guts, because somehow I have no idea what laptop hardware looks like.
Sure, many calls will be about some trivial stuff, but on the other hand, if you start off by saying what is wrong, they may consider it, rather than ask 120 questions in given order with no regards to what your actual problem is. So yeah, again, what the topic title says.

megido-rev.M · « **Reply #6319 on:** October 01, 2012, 07:46:07 PM »

I think I've had IT experiences which could also get just as annoying.
