What are the most challenging school tech support stories you've heard?

A guy called saying his computer screen was blank. The tech support agent asked him to check the power cord. He said it was plugged in. After a while, it was discovered that he had plugged the computer power cord into the printer. It was a really simple mistake but super funny.

I heard a story where a user called because they couldn't print. After a lot of back - and - forth, it was discovered that the printer wasn't turned on. Another funny one was when a user thought their computer had been hacked because their cursor was moving on its own. It turned out their dog was nudging the mouse while it was on the floor. One more was a user who couldn't log into their account. They had forgotten their password, but were insisting that the computer was at fault.

One challenging story was about a supply teacher who walked into a class where the students were very disrespectful. They talked over the teacher, refused to do any work. The teacher had to constantly try to regain control throughout the day, but it was really difficult as they seemed to have no respect for authority.

A vet tech once had a goat as a patient. The goat was very stubborn and refused to get on the scale. So, the tech tried to lure it with some hay. Instead of walking onto the scale, the goat ate the hay right next to it and then pooped on the floor. It was a total mess but also really funny.

There was a customer who purchased a fitness tracker. They contacted support because they thought the tracker was lying to them about the number of steps they took. They said they walked around their house all day and it showed only a few steps. After some questions, it was discovered that the customer had been shuffling around in slippers all day and the tracker wasn't registering the small movements properly. It was a really funny case of misinterpreting technology.

There was a story about a science experiment gone wrong. A group of students were trying to make a volcano eruption model. Instead of a small eruption, they accidentally created a huge mess as the 'lava' (a mixture of baking soda and vinegar) overflowed and spread all over the lab table and floor.

I heard about a team of engineers who were testing a new server. They were so focused on getting it up and running that they didn't notice they had misconfigured the cooling system. The server got so hot that it started making strange beeping noises. When they finally realized what was going on, they found that the heat had caused some of the components to expand and the server case was bulging a little. It was a funny and costly mistake for them to learn from.

I heard of a mom in law who was constantly criticizing her daughter - in - law's housekeeping. She would point out every little speck of dust or unorganized corner. It made the daughter - in - law feel really stressed and self - conscious in her own home.

Once, there was a school-wide competition for the best school uniform design. One student came up with a design that was so outlandish. It had huge ruffles and bright neon colors. When he modeled it on stage, everyone was shocked at first, but then couldn't stop laughing. The judges had a hard time keeping straight faces too.

A story I heard was about a student who fell asleep during an exam. When the teacher woke him up, he started writing his name on the exam paper as if it was the answer. It was really funny.
