50 Tech Support Employees Shared Their Worst Cases

Talk about stupid people.

We should always remember that an individual is not perfect, no one is perfect in this world. we are made to do our own respective, specific tasks in this world. No one can do everything, right? So, I request you all to leave the repairing work to the professionals, do not stick your nose where it does not belong and mind your own business. Stupidity is not just a lack of intelligence in one’s brain but also that when you try to do something that you clearly have no clue about. Being over-smart can lead a person to make a fool out of himself. It is not fun. So make your lives and the worker’s lives easier by just simply handing your broken machine to the ones who actually know how to repair and that is what their job is for, you know?

In 2012, the TechSupportGore subreddit was started, and now it has more than 485k members who love to “cringe to the brink of passing out after a few minutes looking at this subreddit.” These posts are showing everything. Every stupid case experienced by tech support. From the makeshift electronics to cases where people tried fixing their completely burned or bent laptops. They really thought it would be a simple thing and that is, my friends, both painfully entertaining and hilarious to see.

“I feel like the community has grown different tastes for the subreddit over time, for sure. For a while, cable gore was boring, cracked screens, etc. Now? Bad wiring is loved.” The moderator Coffeechipmunk said.

“Tech Support Gore” refers to “stuff in the tech support or IT field that’s a computer comparable version of gore,” The moderated explained and added, “Instead of a heart ripped out, it’s CPU pins. Slightly less awful.”

The worst tech support gore cases were told by Coffeechipmunk to the reporter that, “anything with bugs in it. That’s the worst.” Also said that “the guy who got a laptop full of milk. Yeesh.”

Here is what the moderator thinks about the absurdly humorous touch to its submissions, “it’s played up for laughs a bit, to be honest.” He adds “There’s definitely posts where it’s like, ‘Yikes! That’s bad.’ But I can’t imagine anyone passing out from seeing bad cabling, ya know?”

Oh, God. What did I just saw? These images were absolutely disastrous and utterly stupid. Whoever managed to spill coffee on their laptop and then decided to ‘try rice’…I am just speechless. And the person who cleaned his mouse with lemonade, I just want to ask you a few questions. What was the reason? What were you exactly thinking? I am so curious to know what logical thought you came up with which resulted in you deciding that cleaning anything with lemonade is okay? Do not get me started on the guy who cut the plastic cover of the packing of his mouse along with its wire. Like it was a clear box? How do you guys manage to do such stupid stuff. The ones who try to become technicians on their own are a whole another debate. Which picture was the most cringe-worthy? Let us know in the comments down below…
