Working in the IT and tech support department might sound like a chill high-end job but in reality, it isn't. Tech support employees have to deal will customers and clients who seek solutions to their nightmarish problems. The tech support job can easily be considered one of the most frustrating work ever because every day you will be challenged to develop your technical, analytical, business and interpersonal abilities. Without IT workers, we would have lost our way through technical jargon. So we skimmed the internet and stumbled upon some tweets and the subreddit of r/techsupportgore where we found dedicated posts about tech support professionals facing bizarre tech problems. From murky hardware fished out of the ocean to badly placed keys on a keyboard and some dumb individual using Clorox to clear the LCD screen, the list of hilariously bad tech issues seems never-ending. Here are 25 of the most nonsensical pictures which prove that working in the tech support sector can feel like hell but like most bad experiences, it can be meme-d about.
