Strange Help Desk Requests

Recently, IT professionals were asked to provide examples of the more unusual requests that they have received. Here are some of the responses:

"Could you please install the Internet on my computer?"

"This PC just performed an illegal operation! Will I get in trouble?"

"How do I prevent the coffee cup holder (CD-ROM drive) from going back into the computer?"

"Please warn me the next time my computer going to crash."

"Is there a way to cheat at solitaire?"

"Why doesn't my mouse work?" (user was waving the mouse in the air rather than using it on the desktop)

"How do I push those buttons on the screen?" (user was unaware that the mouse was necesary for navigation)

"Can you please help me open the shrink-wrap on my software?"

"Is it necessary for me to plug in my tape drive before I backup data?"

"I write "CLICK" but nothing is happening!" (help desk technician had asked the end user to "right click")

"I need help un-sending the e-mail I just send!"

"Could you please fix my computer at home?"

"How do I plug in my PC?"
