The most common IT support horror story is probably related to user error. For instance, an employee clicks on a phishing link and unknowingly installs malware on the company's network. The IT support then has to deal with the consequences, which can include data theft or system crashes. Another common scenario is when IT support tries to upgrade hardware, but the new components are not compatible with the existing ones. This can lead to a whole host of problems, from slow performance to complete system failures.
The most common one is probably the virus or malware attacks. A company's network can get infected, and all the computers start acting up. The IT support has to isolate the infected machines, clean them up, and make sure the data is not stolen. It's a huge hassle.
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.
There are also horror stories about data loss. A customer might accidentally delete important files and then expect the tech support to magically recover everything. Even if it's possible to recover some data, it's not always a 100% solution. And some customers get really angry when they realize that not all their data can be retrieved. This can lead to a very unpleasant tech support experience.
Long wait times are very common. Customers are often left on hold for a ridiculously long time, like in my case with the airline. Another common element is unhelpful agents. They either don't have enough knowledge or just don't care. For example, the internet service provider's agent who made me repeat the same steps over and over.
Unfair calculations. Often, the formulas used don't accurately reflect the true financial situation of the parents. For example, if a parent has significant debt but is still expected to pay a high amount of child support.
One common theme is misdiagnosis. Tech support often blames the wrong component, like software when it's a hardware problem. Another is slow response time, especially in urgent situations.
One common horror story is when the calculations seem way off. For example, a non - custodial parent might be ordered to pay an exorbitant amount that doesn't seem to match their income level. This could be due to errors in reporting income or misinterpretation of the guidelines.
One horror story is when an emotional support animal, a large dog in this case, attacked a neighbor's small pet without warning. The owner claimed it was just a one - off but it was really scary for the neighbor. Another is when an emotional support snake got loose in an apartment building. People were terrified of finding it in their homes or hallways.
One of the most prevalent ebay horror stories is when the item gets lost in transit. The tracking shows it's been shipped but then it disappears. Buyers are left in a lurch as they've paid for the item but don't have it. Sellers may blame the shipping company and the shipping company may say it was the seller's fault in packaging. Ebay then has to step in to mediate, which can be a long and drawn - out process.
One common 'Popeyes Horror Story' is the wrong order. You order a specific meal with certain sides and end up with something completely different. It's frustrating, especially if you have dietary restrictions or just had your heart set on that particular order.
