WTF are IT people so freaking weird?

[Burntblood]

Those fucking guys are killing me.
Got the 'mister fucking know it all' that comes into my area 3-4 times a day and irritates the living shit out of me with his boundless knowledge.
Got the T-rex gaming dude that looks like he does know it all. Creepy looking fuck.
Seriously the guy spends so much time at the keyboard that his arms have evolved to be smaller so they reach the keyboard at the perfect angle. He has little T-rex arms. It's awesome.
You ought to see the guy when he's walking. It's like a baby T-rex, adorable...
Then there's the 'overly helpful' guy that comes to my cube constantly giving me 'heads up' about everything happening the next day or so. It's like 'Dude, I don't need a fucking heads up. Go away, can't you see I'm fucking around on the internet?"
He just left giving me a heads up about a conference call in the Multi Purpose room tomorrow.
He wanted to know if I could come down and test with him to ensure everything was good.
Keep in mind I'm the telecom guy. So I'm like "Test what? The phone?" WTF!!!
"Does it have dialtone?" "Yes, ok it passed, why the fuck do I need to come down there?"
The dude laughs after everything he says too, even if it's not supposed to be funny.
Every freaking thing he says, he laughs. It's irritating as fuck.

Umm

I think that guy has a crush on you

I would watch your backside

 

[ssl]

yeah.. we are weird.

but then you people are weird to us too.

ie- wtf? i just told him not to click on everything; and yet i am back 2 days later doing the same shit!

so..

you deserve it.

 

[Burntblood]

Well you're right SSL.
I used to be a Implemetation Engineer (whatever that is)
Basically I was more on the network side of things but not desktop but I did voice and data type shit.
Anyway this one really hot, yet dumb blonde used to call in with the most hilarious problems.
Usually it was a problem with not being able to connect with the LAN.
It was always the network cable being unplugged or something.
One time I went down to see about her problem of a fax machine not turning on.
The first thing she said when she saw me was "I know it's not me this time. I crawled under the desk and made sure the power and phone line were plugged in."
Sure enough the power was plugged in....to a surge protector that wasn't plugged into anything else.
Oh man, I miss her. Good times......

I am so not gonna apologize for those guys. I am a professional IT and I can tell you you are going to end up with 2 of the extreme. You are either gonna end up with real nice guys who give you advice and are not "you idiot" about it and you are also gonna get guys who are "how come you don't know this basic stuff, you stupid or something forest gump?"

That's how it is. I try to be nice to people when I help them. Hopefully one day your IT guy looks in the mirror one morning and cries after self realization and shoots a load and calls sick and stays home so you can have one good day without him putting chips on your shoulder.

dude oh my gosh.

I had this prob with CDs not being readable and execs always calling me saying they can't play a video during conference. I find out someone's putting finger prints on the CDs. I found out who it is and I give her tutorial on why not to do it. So I go and burn a new one without smudges so I can burn at slower speed just for ensurance. I then hold it up to give it to her just to see how she would grab it off me. What does she do? The same exact thing as before that I just got done explaining that she shouldn't do.

Yep, they deserve it.

haha it's an experience

 

[JanieDough]

lol. our IT guy used to be named LOTHAR.

I thought he was cool as shit in the way that he was 50 years old and totally ok with being a big ass dork.

I respect people who are comfortable being themselves even when they see how they look in other people's eyes.


My brother goes to RIT. He is weird too, but I keep him in check.

and you are supposed to let me make out with you instead of blowing me kisses from feet away and telling me to go buy you tampons and how it is gift to me that I do this for you. at least girls on 4chan shows me boobies

 

[Tyler Durden]

Well ours can be a lil "different"! Social skills seem a bit out of whack with the rest of the office......but they're good guys

I'm in IT but I'm not nearly as weird as the people you're describing there... though I've worked with people like that before.
