Genius move

Today, the new office IT guy figured the best way to get the virus off my computer was to wipe my entire hard drive. He was kind enough to back my data up and restore everything from the backups. Including the virus. FML

Today, I finally finished my 500 page manuscript and so went out to buy some paper to print it off. I get back home and find out my dad has infected my computer with a virus and the only way to save it was to wipe the hard drive, which he did. That script took me a year and I have no backup. FML

Today, our computer system has irretrievably broken down due to viruses. My boss is the one who refused to get new antivirus software, but he’s still blaming me because I’m the computer guy and should be able to protect us from stupidly complicated viruses, "like the hackers in the movies." FML

Today, discovered that all the viruses I have gotten on my computer at work haven't been from anything I've done, but because my boss has secretly been using it after hours to download or watch porn so he wouldn't risk getting a virus on his own computer. I've lost 3 major projects due to this. FML

Today, my friend asked to borrow my new laptop to email his college professor. When he returned it, it had a virus on it, and I had to fish out two pubic hairs that were sticking out between the keys. FML

Today, I lost two terabytes' worth of photos to a friend's incompetence. He said he could save me some money and fix my slow computer for free. He ended up wiping the hard drive, and along with it, my photography portfolio from the last five years. FML

Today, I went to the bathroom to take a piss. While washing my hands, I heard someone taking a large dump in one of the stalls. When he was finished, he left the bathroom without washing his hands. Turns out he was the IT guy I called to fix my computer. He sat down on my chair and used my keyboard. FML

I think it's your IT guy that needs to be wiped.

Trying to help? It was the guys JOB to fix it and instead he wasted OPs time with his incompetence.

It was the guy's job to fix the computer. His files and anything else are the poor ******'s own responsibility. If the guy's own files contained an infection that spread back to the computer after it was re-imaged, particularly if I found out he was bitching about it being MY fault, my default course of action would be to wipe the whole thing, then replace his workstation with a PS/2 terminal from the late 80s and let him do his ******* TPS reports on that. No more facebook or pornhub for you, jackass!

Yeah, because it's never your fault for being such a ******* tool that you click every talking ad and install every damn toolbar and smiley pack you get, not to mention whatever **** sites you may frequent. Quit blaming this shit on everybody but yourself and be grateful he bothered to back your shit up to begin with.
