A user was trying to give a presentation. He plugged in his USB drive but instead of opening the presentation file, he opened his personal photo album which was full of funny selfies and vacation pictures. Everyone in the room had a good laugh.
There was a time when a colleague thought his computer had a virus because the cursor was moving on its own. Turns out, his cat was walking on the mouse pad. It was really hilarious to see him panicking at first.
Sure. There was a virus that would make the computer screen show a bunch of bouncing cartoon characters every time you opened a document. It was more annoying than harmful, but it made users laugh when they first saw it.
Sure. Here's a joke. Why was the computer cold at the office? Because it left its Windows open.
One funny computer - generated story is about a group of aliens who received a wrong signal from Earth. They thought Earthlings were inviting them for a big food fight. So, they landed on Earth with all kinds of strange food - like substances from their planet. When they realized it was a misunderstanding, they ended up having a real food fight with the humans for the fun of it. It was a hilarious chaos.
Sure. There was this one time in a computer engineering class. A student was so confident about his code for a simple calculator program. But when he ran it, instead of getting correct math results, it kept spitting out random song lyrics. Turns out he accidentally mixed up some variables with text snippets from a music app he was working on at the same time.
Sure. Once I had a customer who thought his computer was broken because the screen was black. After some checks, I found out he just accidentally unplugged the monitor cable. It was so simple yet he was so worried.
Well, once a computer science student was working on a project to create a simple chatbot. But due to a wrong line of code in the language recognition part, instead of greeting users properly, it started spitting out random Shakespearean quotes. So when you typed 'Hello', it might reply with 'To be, or not to be, that is the question' which was really funny.
One funny story is about a tech support guy. A customer called saying their computer mouse wasn't working. After a long series of questions, the tech support guy finally realized that the customer had put a piece of tape over the optical sensor of the mouse because they thought it was a 'dirt protector'. When they removed the tape, the mouse worked fine.
Well, here are some. A person reported that their keyboard was typing random letters. Tech support asked if anything was spilled on it. The user said no. Eventually, they found out the user's cat was walking on the keyboard. Also, a guy called saying his computer was making a strange noise. It ended up being a piece of paper stuck in the fan. There was also a case where a user thought their monitor was broken as it was black, but they had just accidentally turned it off.
A customer called because their computer was making a strange beeping noise. The customer service person asked a series of questions to diagnose the problem. It turned out the customer had a pet parrot that liked to sit on top of the computer and peck at the keys. The beeping was the parrot hitting some function keys accidentally.
A user called because they couldn't access the internet. After some troubleshooting, it became clear that they had typed their password as 'password' but the actual password was 'Password123' (with a capital P). They were so sure it was right that they argued with the support person for a while.
