In my humble opinion tech support guys are really tough, but they are humans just like you and me. They have a really stressful job, many people shout at them, and ah well sometimes they cry. Read this guide about: how to make tech support guys cry.
- When you chat with them via live chat, act like you don’t understand what they say. If you talk to these guys via phone, act like you are from another country.
- Call them every 5 minutes or send them an email every 5 minutes.
- Swear! Swear a lot, trust me they love it.
- Don’t ever let them think that you’ve understood something. Ask questions about the same thing, after they finished their explanation.
- Talk loudly when you call them.
- Talk really slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowly when you call them.
- Whisper in the phone, and than suddenly change volume and shout.
- Act like you have Tourette-syndrome. Although I understand that it’s a disease, and I feel sad for the people who have Tourette-syndrome. Basically at the beginning of the phone conversation with the tech support guy, be calm, talk like a normal person. Every 2 minutes interrupt him while he speaks, shout something REALLY nasty…and after that talk like an average person again. When they ask you what is the matter with you, tell them politely that you have Tourette-syndrome and it’s really not funny so if they hang up the phone you’re going to send a letter to the management that the tech support didn’t help you because you’ve got Tourrette.
- Talk about personal stuff like: how many time you go to the toilet per day etc.
10. After they explained something to you ask them to explain it again, and again and again and again.

virtual millenium: I don’t hate them. Actually I’ve got some friends who work at the tech support of different companies, and I love to tease them.
