I've delt with some stupid people before... but this guy displays new hights of stupidity. Worse still is he's a PhD teaching college classes.

PhD: I need some help. My computer isn't working.
Me: Ok, could you be more specific? What is it doing its not supposed to?
PhD: Its making strange noises and I can't get it to do anything.
Me: Hmm.. well let me come down and have a look at it.
*I walk down to his office*
Me: Yeah you've definitely got a problem here. You're computer is infected with a virus.
PhD: Oh no... how bad is it?
Me: Well... I think I can clean it out.
PhD: How long will that take? I have to give an exam shortly and I need to print out the test.
Me: I'm not sure, probably about 20-30 minutes or so.
PhD: You're gonna have to do it faster than that the exam starts in 5 minutes.
Me: I'll try. I wonder why it wasn't caught by viru..... oh, virus scan got disabled on your computer somehow.
PhD: Oh yeah. There was a game I saw in this email I wanted to play. But everytime I downloaded it virus scan kept deleting it. So I turned virus scan off.

I had to take a walk before I strangled the guy.

lmao

 

[captains]

haahhahahahahh

 

[drum]

i'm sure the game was worth it. right?

 

[mcvickj]

LMAO.

 

[iwantanewcomputer]

you should have smacked him and called him a n00b

 

[Siva]

Stupid virus scan. If it didn't delete games that got emailed to that guy he never would've gotten a virus!

 

[skace]

I hate when the virus scanner tries to stop my video games!

Edit: Oh and this is why most corporate virus scanners allow you to set a password so that settings cannot be changed unless the password is supplied.

 

[wondersteve]

bwahahahahaha

 

[neutralizer]

he got what he deserved. time to cancel tests

students saved by virus.

 

[JoeKing]

people like him will keep you in a job. Phds are funny people. They can be totally brilliant in their fields, but you get them out of their enviroment and most start to flounder. I guess it must take a pretty singular mind to get a doctorate.

 

[feelingshorter]

yet again, never open any stupid email attachments

 

[xSkyDrAx]

LMAO! nubcake

 

[furie27]

I just charged some jackass $25 to fix his broken keyboard. Turns out he wasn't willing to bend over and plug the damned thing in properly before calling me out.

 

[rh71]

he just admitted to playing a game at work ? Hmm...

 

[sswingle]

Thats not as bad as the guy who kept getting a message from his AV program telling him he had a virus. He was convinced the AV program itself was infected and uninstalled it.

 

[tw1164]

LOL, that's awesome

Update:

I got the virus cleaned out. Just had to delete some registry entries and files from the windows directory and system restore.

*As I'm walking out the door*
PhD: Oh, hey you think you could help me get this game to work?

rh71: Its a university. On days they don't have class some of the professors might not even show up. You think the dean will care if they play a game on their computer?
