SpiceWorks has put together a pretty cool infographic on the 10 excuses that system administrators (those responsible for servers in a company) have all heard from users.
I'm not a system administrator, but I can relate to this infographic and I'm sure you've all used at least one of these excuses with your IT department!
Come on, I'll let you look at the infographic below, and I've even given you the translations a little further down!
With translations for those who are less comfortable in English:
- But, it worked very well yesterday…
- No one else has this problem!
- A pop-up told me I had a virus, so I clicked on it.
- I tried to fix it myself…
- I know, you told me not to do it, but…
- I typed my password correctly!
- I don't know anything about computers - that's your job!
- I just turned it on and it happened like that!
- My child was on my laptop last night – I don't know what he did with it!
- Since you "fixed" it, it's been like this!
Which one is your favorite? Personally I like the second one!
