I can start the suck-ball rolling with a favorite! This is from tech support, and I got a call from a guy who was having trouble getting his wireless internet connection working. He adamantly refused to admit that anything else was wrong; none of his settings were different at all from what they should be. So we have to send somebody over. I get there to discover not only is this a LYING customer, in that he hasn't set up anything at all, but his idea of wireless was to take an ethernet cable, and not plug it in, no, but to leave the ends of it NEAR the wall connection and his computer. This was very surreal for me- picture a man assuming wireless means that you still need a wire, but it doesn't need to be plugged in.
After explaining the cord was unnecessary, his face turns red. Embarassed, he strides to the door, opens it, and says thank you, I've done enough. I protest, he has changed none of the appropriate settings, and he raises his voice more than slightly and suggests that I leave again. I'm not sure if that man ever did get on the internet, but if he did, then I applaud the loved one or other tech support guy who was able to get him to do anything.
