The Most Astonishing Disasters That Tech Support Was Ever Called in to Fix
Technology is the backbone of basically every modern-day corporation. Employees of every level rely on it to conduct business through video conference calls, coding all kinds of software, sending e-mails, and retrieving data.
Without technology, companies wouldn’t be able to conduct business effectively in the 21st century. But our computers, fiber optic cables, and servers would be useless without tech support personnel to provide proper maintenance and support.
Here are some of the most astonishing disasters that tech support ever had to handle. Some of these stories are so ridiculous, you’ll be rolling your eyes big time. You’ve been warned!
Chemical Splatter on the PC
The tech support that was called in to fix this PC probably wanted to use latex gloves to clean up the chemical splatter on this computer, monitor, keyboard and mouse. Someone must’ve confused the monitor and keyboard’s design for something a little out of line.
But if you do a double take, you can quickly see it’s just the pattern. Whoever called this poor IT guy was probably seeing things.
The Pulled Fiber Optics Were Never Fixed
Although tech support is usually very good at fixing things, they don’t always finish the job. Take this fiber optic cable. It was pulled out of the ground by an internet provider that was given three billion dollars by the United States government to install high speed internet in rural areas.
Unfortunately, they never went back to finish the job. So, the cable has remained exposed to the elements after all this time.
The Cables Were Yanked
This work is so shoddy. It looks like someone pulled the ethernet cable along with two other cables out through the socket and caused some serious damage to the wall in the process. In fact, it’s so bad that the outlets right next to it looked shocked.
Fortunately, the damage to the wall can be easily fixed with some drywall. But they’ll need a couple of screws to re-attach the electric socket’s casing, too.
The Baby Monitor’s Growing Battery
This techie is used to fixing other people’s problems, so it certainly wasn’t difficult to figure out what was wrong with their baby monitor’s back panel that had suddenly started to crack. It turns out that the battery was bloated beyond recognition.
Now most people wouldn’t know why this happened, but the tech support guy realized that the battery needed to be replaced soon or it would explode.
