IT Jokes

• No one but God understands their internal logic (logic?).

• The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else (kind of hexadecimal, BCD or alike?).

• The message "Bad command or file name" is as informative as "If you don't know why I'm mad at you, then I'm certainly not going to tell you." (That’s logic!)

• Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.

• As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your salary on accessories for it.

• (No way, computers are female...)

• When you call us to have your computer moved, be sure to leave it buried under half a ton of postcards, baby pictures, stuffed animals, dried flowers, bowling trophies and children's art. We don't have a life, and we find it deeply moving to catch a fleeting glimpse of yours.

• Don't write anything down. We can play back the error messages from here.

• When an IT person says he's coming right over, go for coffee. That way you won't be there when we need your password. It's nothing for us to remember 347 screen saver passwords.

• When you call the help desk, state what you want, not what's keeping you from getting it. We don't need to know that you can't get into your mail because your computer won't power on at all.

• When IT support sends you an email with high importance, delete it at once. We're just testing.

• When the photocopier doesn't work, call computer support. After all, there's electronics in it.

• When an IT person tells you that computer screens don't have cartridges in them, argue. We like good arguments.

• When an IT person tells you that he'll be there shortly, reply in a scathing tone of voice: "how many weeks do you mean by shortly?" That keeps us motivated.
