Humour The Computer

Techmares collects some of the most willfully ignorant and hilariously misled tech support callers and shares them for our amusement. Many of them are almost unbelievable, and most are incredibly relatable if you're a somewhat computer-literate person who's tried to help someone who is NOT. It's definitely for a specific audience, and it doesn't bother to explain the punchlines to you so if you're not a tech person this is not going to be internally understandable humor for you.
