Tech Support People Are Sharing The Worst Cases They’ve Seen While On The Job (100 New Pics)

Trust me, tech support workers, they’ve seen it all. Witnessing the infinite amount of hard grease on a mouse pad, sorting through makeshift computer ventilations, laying their eyes on needlessly creative audio outputs and whatnot, it’s just fair to say they’ve been to hell and back.

And thanks to Reddit’s corner known as TechSupportGore, we now have the picture evidence that not everyone was born into electronics. Not even every second one of us.

Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.

We have selected some of the worst offenders in the tech department as shared by the blessed tech support employees who still smile back at us after knowing what gore we just submitted for repair. Scroll down, upvote the ones that made you cringe and sigh, and be sure to share your tech gone wrong experiences in the comment section!

Psst! Don’t forget to check out our previous tech support gore posts here and here.
