Share Your Technical Support Horror Stories
I once called for technical support regarding my internet connection. The technician was extremely rude. He kept interrupting me while I was trying to explain the problem. Then he put me on hold for a really long time. When he came back, he started blaming me for the problem, saying I must have messed up some settings, without even properly investigating. It was a nightmare dealing with him.
There was a time when I needed support for a software glitch. The support team took days to respond. When they finally did, they sent me a bunch of generic instructions that had nothing to do with my specific problem. I replied with more details, but they just sent the same instructions again. It took weeks of back - and - forth before they finally realized they were looking at the wrong thing and by that time I had already lost a lot of work time.
Share your customer support horror stories.
One of my worst customer support horror stories was with an airline. I had a flight cancellation due to bad weather. But when I called customer support to rebook, I was put on hold for over two hours! And when they finally answered, the agent was rude and unhelpful, just repeating the same scripted lines without actually trying to find a solution for me.

Share your technical interview horror stories.
I once had an interview where the technical questions were way beyond the scope of the job description. They started asking about very advanced algorithms that I hadn't really studied in depth. I felt so unprepared and it was really nerve - wracking. I left the interview feeling really down about my skills.
What Are the Most Common Technical Support Horror Stories?
One common horror story is long wait times. People often have to wait on hold for hours just to talk to a support agent. Another is when the support agent is not trained well and gives wrong advice. For example, they might tell you to delete a crucial file thinking it's not important. Also, getting transferred from one agent to another multiple times without anyone actually solving the problem is a regular occurrence.
Share some IT support horror stories.
I've heard of a case where an IT support person was setting up new software for a company. They didn't properly test it first. Once installed on all the computers, it conflicted with other essential software. This made all the computers freeze frequently. Employees were frustrated as they couldn't work properly, and it took a long time to uninstall and find an alternative software.
Can you share some funny technical support stories?
Sure. One time, a user called because their computer mouse wasn't working. The tech support guy asked them to check if it was plugged in. After a long silence, the user said, 'Yes, it is, but my cat is sitting on the mousepad and won't move!' Another story is about a guy who thought his printer was broken because it kept printing blank pages. Turns out, he had put the paper in upside down.

My family has been really supportive since I started a gluten - free diet. My mom learned to cook all kinds of gluten - free meals. For example, she makes amazing gluten - free pancakes. It was a big change for the whole family, but they adjusted quickly to make sure I could stick to my diet.
Share your horror stories.
There was this time I was in an old hotel. I was staying in a room on the top floor. In the middle of the night, I heard faint footsteps in the hallway. Then, the doorknob started to rattle as if someone was trying to get in. I called the front desk but no one answered. I pushed a chair against the door and sat there trembling until morning.
