FooB2	Posted - 2006.05.20 16:57:00 - [1] someone i know recently got threatened with legal action for online theft because said person killed him and looted the stuff. just wondered what the funniest petitions youve come across were? i could use a bit of a laugh. Pre-Nerfed Tactics - yes, we are just plain nasty boys.
mazzilliu	Posted - 2006.05.20 17:00:00 - [2] Edited by: mazzilliu on 20/05/2006 17:07:33 Just tell the guy that when they read that one screen on the tutorial reguarding low sec space he was signing a legally binding document holding all low-sec attackers immune to litigation by pressing 'ok' ---------
Kylania	Posted - 2006.05.20 17:04:00 - [3] Not a petition, but as a PC tech I've had a few stupid trouble tickets. One was this lenghty email about some guy who wasn't getting sound from his PC. He'd tried new drivers, reseeded his card, tried the sound file on someone elses PC and it works, but no sound on his PC. He ended the ticket with "Could this be because I have no speakers?". Than just the other day I got another one. A VP of Sales asked me to "put my desktop hard drive into my laptop so I can just always use my laptop." I simply nodded and said I would do that. As I was carrying away the desktop and laptop my friend asked me what I was doing and I explained I was putting the hardrive from the desktop into the laptop. He asked, "Can you even do that!?" I said, "Of course not, but a VP doesn't need to know that." I copied the files over and was a hero. -- Lil Miner

In games where your in-game possessions have a real-world value, you'd win that action. Thankfully, in EVE they don't, because they don't belong to us. ________________________________________________ "I tried strip mining, but I lost, and it's cold flying around in space naked."
Elve Sorrow	Posted - 2006.05.20 17:10:00 - [5] I think one of the GMs once posted one about a guy who couldnt decide what sort of chicken sandwich he wanted, and decided to petition? Do not discuss moderation on the forums - Cathath([email protected]) boohoo

Lorth	Posted - 2006.05.20 17:37:00 - [9] Didn't a dev/gm or somthing post a tale about some one having his mother write a lenghty petition for him explaining how he got good grades and was never bad? I'm sure of it, just don't know where the link is.

Drizit	Posted - 2006.05.20 19:35:00 - [18] Originally by: Jim McGregor I was about to petition for my real life back, but some technical error made it fail. I tried that once before. Emailed the Assistant manager of the company I worked for. Got a reply back saying I'm afraid we can't give you back what you probably never had to begin with What made it worse, he was actually right --
Justus Imperius	Posted - 2006.05.20 19:38:00 - [19] I once pettitioned because I was playing eve while I needed to be getting prepared for a meeting the next day, and I asked them if they'd finish up my paperwork because its their fault, and im hungry. GUI Waypoint Idea
LUGAL MOP'N'GLO	Posted - 2006.05.20 19:52:00 - [20] Originally by: Kylania "Could this be because I have no speakers?" lol. Nice. I sell computers at a large electronics store and get really stupid questions everyday. Usually preceded by "I know this is a stupid question but..." Sometimes its those questions that make my day. I have no sig, because I can't compress my picture down that far. It looks like crapola.

Eternal Fury	Posted - 2006.05.20 21:59:00 - [23] Howw about the husband and wife who called tech support becuase they couldn't get the computer to work. After 4 techs, 3 hrs I got the call and I figured out two things. they were physically putting the mouse on the screen, and when they moved it to the start button "the bottom left corner of the screen is unviewable. how do I see where to click?" Ohh, and did I mention that neither of them could read? we just told them the power in their house wasn't compatable with the computer, and to just pack it up and ship it back and we'd offer then a full refund. They said, "ohh. That's too bad. It's nice of you folks to offer us a refund. We were afraid we wouldn't be able to use the comptuer for a few years." The rest of the tech staff were in the managers office listening to this on the speaker phone. At least 4 of them were in tears from laughing so hard. well, until I figure Illustrator out. :) And I cant' type eiterh. :)
Aitrus	Posted - 2006.05.20 22:38:00 - [24] When I worked tech support, I actually had a guy break down in tears because he couldn't read back the error message on his screen when I asked him to.
Zissou	Posted - 2006.05.20 22:54:00 - [25] When I worked in tech support for the armed forces I'd get high ranking officers ringing up and attempting to intimidate me with their rank etc. I'd ask them to log on and remote into their desktop, as they were typing in their password I'd just press a letter on my keyboard so they'd get their password wrong. After a few attempts they'd lock their accounts and I'd laugh mockingly as I unlocked it. Depending on how rude they'd been when they first rang up I'd maybe force them to lock their account 2 or 3 times. Made me laugh and made them very very humble.
Aeon Yakati	Posted - 2006.05.20 22:59:00 - [26] Edited by: Aeon Yakati on 20/05/2006 23:03:55 Originally by: Aitrus When I worked tech support, I actually had a guy break down in tears because he couldn't read back the error message on his screen when I asked him to. "What does the first letter look like?" "You mean, to the right or left?" "Left" "Errr i think something's missing, it's like only a dot" "Let's start on the other side"
clone no3	Posted - 2006.05.21 01:10:00 - [27] Originally by: Traxio Nacho Cold spaghetti ewwwwwww Actually I like eating raw spaghetti Raw spaghetti FTW!

Awww That sad.. you know this guy wouldn't know the fun of forums on the internet... think of that... And more seriously, it must be hard to see everyone loving to use computer and you simply forfeiting it cause you can't read.
Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.05.21 03:12:00 - [29] Spaghetti keeps better, and is just fine reheated. A chicken sandwich will get rather soggy in the microwave. -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!
Ricdic	Posted - 2006.05.21 04:00:00 - [30] I work for an aussie ISP, and had a guy call and sign up a broadband account. Upon receipt of his modem (free modem in contract package) the guy called up and asked what to do next, and explained he didnt realise he needed a computer to use the internet. ------------------------------------------ Dreadnought Production INC is recruiting Join DPI Channel Or Visit (IGB) http://www.mmorpg-online.net/intro.html
