Support staff talk about the worst cases they've experienced at work

While more and more people are becoming tech-savvy and able to solve simpler problems on their own, the world of technology is still a mystery to many. Just think of the times when your expensive computer made weird noises, made all sorts of complaints, or, God forbid, showed a giant blue error that you definitely didn't want to see. Then there is only one place left - the heroes of technical support.

However, if you think that all IT pros do is tell you to hit the reset button or help you with that "serious" problem with a printer that isn't even plugged in yet, we can prove otherwise.

Oven-drying laptops and mold are just some of the monstrosities employees have witnessed. So get ready to flip through some of the most nightmarish photos we've collected.
