In my experience LL support has been a lot better than what you get from some other organisations. Nice diagram, though.

There is nothing funny about that diagram. That is pretty much how real tech support works.

I find it extremely funny ... and it's only funny because it's true.

they missed one question after 'start' which should be "is your computer switched on?"

On the contrary: this is pretty much how real tech support works, and that's what makes the diagram funny. Doubly so for anyone who's heard, "You know a lot about them computer things, can you show me how to ___?"

(FWIW, this is from http://www.xkcd.com/ )

NEVER ask that. Always give the user a chance to save face.

Instead of asking "is it plugged in", you ask "could you check to make sure that the power cable is securely plugged in, they get loose you know...".

This seems to be missing the huge first step box where the support person hides for several hours while you are trying desperately to contact them...

There should also be a box for 'does the resident's enquiry make the slightest bit of sense?'

Like I mean:.... 'My horsie has lags but not my friends horsie it move faster what you do about it?' sort of thing!!!

that diagram only shows what happens after the trouble ticket has been put through the "useless solution provided, ticket closed by support" cycle at least twice.

twelve.


a horse definitely has twelve legs.


two in front.

two in the back.

two on the left side.

two on the right side.

and one leg at each corner... adds up to twelve legs.


on the other hand... "der pferd hat vier beiner. an jeder ecke einer. drei beiner hätt, umfallen tät.", as some oldschool german comedian once said, whose name i can't quite remember right now.

A horse has an infinite number of legs.

Proof:

No horse has five legs.
A horse has four more legs than no horse.
Therefore a horse has nine legs.
But no horse has nine legs.
A horse had four legs more than no horse.
Therefore a horse has thirteen legs.

Don't forget about "punishment hold," something I'm told many customer service/tech support reps do frequently.

You didn't state it very elegantly.

L = SUM i=1 --> infinity [5+4(i)]

Geeze. Programmers.

Is that suppose to be $\sum\limits_{i=1}^{\inf} 5 + 4i?

I see someone reads xkcd!!!

Actually, this doesn't cover just computers.. it can cover almost anything. So, by that, I'm a freaking expert in everything!
