10 Of The Dumbest Things People Have Ever Asked The IT Department

IT people are the unsung heroes of our generation. They hold the keys to the Internet castle, and we frantically message them with all our bullsh*t whenever we get locked out. They see our darkest, most idiotic selves. And they have kept our foolishness a secret.

Until now.

IT management website Solarwinds usually is all business -- but they decided to ask their specialists to compile the most egregious IT questions they've ever been asked, and then proceeded to share them with all of us. These conversations are mind-boggling.

This is the best because some real human person expects another real human person to know what sd34329jf09u34lkjsf9u934;j2349sdf-08sdjf3 means off the top of his or her head. (By the way, that's a photograph -- I typed that whole f*cking number out because I'm a professional.)

I honestly just can't believe this happened. And I want to meet this person who thinks this is the sort of world we all live in.

Not an audiophile.

This person thinks because stocks involve numbers, they can be fixed by IT.

Exclamation points!

This one is so special. I love it more than bacon.
