IT Support is a lie. We get the customer to do it, I don’t wanna get up off my seat!

In IT support, sometimes that is all you're authorized to do. Companies will hire someone overqualified and hamstring them with simple work.

As Operations, sometimes we don't put batteries in the flashlights.

Management to customer: No problem we will have that done in two weeks... Whats a lightbulb?
beergolem
I like this one because everybody is bad.

Can confirm for marketing
schrodingerscart
From my PM role can confirm this is the correct resolution, but it also must be part of the status report under "achievements"

3rd party developer: lightbulb breaks in 2022. Says they’re on it. Charges 2000% to deploy solution in 2025.
RoulettesPlay
In IT Software/Hardware Support defense: Over half the time the lightbulb isn't broken, the idiots just never turned the damn thing on.

Are we not going to talk about the fact that the character from IT is moss from the IT crowd

System Analyst: Notes lightbulb is broken. Fixes it. Get's shit for not using process. Breaks it, submits ticket, notes bad metrics.
horseybooks
Executive: The lightbulb is broken. The lightbulb is broken. *looks around* 'Isn't anyone going to step up? Take the initiative?'

customer support: have you tried turning it off and on again?

Systems Tester: Manages to turn lightbulb into a giraffe in 3 seconds using only an angry glare, writes sarcastic problem report to devs.
OriginalSyn
Jr. Systems Tester: Turns lightbulb into giraffe but forgets to write steps down writes report to devs "it's broken"

WELL OKAY TESTS, FIND OUT USERS WANT LIGHT, YOU PROPOSE A SUN ROOF AND THEN THE STAKEHOLDERS SMASHES THE WALL

System Administrator: gets ticket lightbulb isn't working, adds more memory and CPU to lightbulb, still not working, calls developer
BenjaminPannell
Me: Receives report of broken light bulb; inspects bulb promising to fix it later; receives request to fix another bulb; forgets first one
dwgeo
This is brilliant
BenjaminPannell
Can't relate, but still found it hilarious.
admiralawesome4213
OK now someone needs to write a 100 page manual on how to change a lightbulb

Security: Gets report of broken lightbulb, assumes North Korean hackers have taken over the national power grid, Tweets about it.

How many Germans does it take to screw in a lightbulb? - One. They’re efficient and not very funny.

Apparently, every imgur comment is a reference I don't get. I'm not German, but I don't have a sense of humor anyway, I guess.
blcoyote
This conversation you're now having with yourself is pretty funny
beardyfaceguy
How many Mexicans does it take to change a light-bulb? - One. Because they have a great work ethic and common sense.

that was not funny, go back to work Horst

As a German living abroad, this is a must have to keep up the image. Where can we order these?

How many south Americans does it take to change a lightbulb? -a Brazilian. It's just one also.

Oh shit, nice saying. Gonna remember that one.

Jawohl mein Kamerad, nur im deutschen kannst du dich vernünftig und eloquent ausdrücken. Es sei denn, du sprichst sächsisch.
aelfer
Sächsisch ist keine Sprache, sondern eine Krankheit.

I took two years of German. Only know that youre saying something about speaking German or Danish or something Idk.

As someone from belgium, germanic languages are retarded. I took two years of german and can only read this because dutch is a fancy dialect

As a former IT guy: The lightbulb is broken, fix the lightbulb, go back to imgur.

As a Project Manager: It's wrong. We get someone else to smash the thing.

THANK YOU! Psh, I don’t actually do work besides make project plans, think I’m gonna swing a bat? Nonsense!
Zombeavers
As the wife of someone who works in IT: can confirm. My husband is the go to smash guy
LeSethX
As former IT support, I try a second bulb, which also doesn't work, before ordering a new room
theHitchenator
As a front&back end dev my project manager is the smash guy. Mainly because he doesn’t give anyone else access to the testing environment.
theHitchenator
(I mean when testing networked features or testing proper functioning on the end-point hardware)
ItWillAllWorkOut
HR: the light bulb is broken, they call a commission to determine proper action, they develop project plan over months, they get it (1/)
ItWillAllWorkOut
Approved by legal, they keep plan in a confidential where no one can get it, they leave the room and don't touch anything (2/2)
Lefthandofgod
6 months later the bulb gets slapped with a sexual harassment lawsuit.

Hahahaha

First one is like a system I worked on. Monitoring system says modem not responding, manual says replace monitoring system.

One of my work's monitoring systems has an alert every hour we need to check off, to make sure the monitoring system itself isn't broken.
Pavespectre
We had one alarm that only went off when one system came back online. failure alarm didn't work but would loudly tell you it was fine again.

Wheres the testers? Finds broken lightbulb. Checks fuse. Checks filament. Checks for powercut. Checks fuseboard. Checks power supply...
Leevalleyoftheshadowofdeath
Switch was just off
VarS311
Don't think so, that's dev work, testers would only report the lightbulb doesn't work
theHitchenator
Depends on if they’re black box or white box testers.
theHitchenator
They would likely check these parameters and provide info about them in a report but not change them.
kevinjameshunt
Testers: Lightbulb is broken. Tester doesn't notice switch is just off. Front-end gets a ticket.
LeSethX
Oh gawd, I have a friend who was so good at finding bugs in games, devs eventually asked him to stop
LeSethX
He has some amazing stories of trolling people in multi-player, tho, with said bugs
DaiHoss
Worked with testers on a govt project. They sent request to proj mgr asking me to write instructions on what to do if the server is on fire
randomdrifter54
Give your life blood to Satan in hopes he releases the server.
deltajesus
Is that really unreasonable? Disaster planning is important.
DaiHoss
It was for the navy. You'd think they'd know what to do in the event of a fire on board a vessel

QA Tester: Lightbulb breaks when wifi in Building B is off and elevator in Building C is on 3rd floor.

theHitchenator
You joke but with shitty programming that could easily be the case.
OriginalSyn
I don't joke because I've had weird cases like that where our QA would say something like "In chrome this is broken when I have IE6 open"
AttackMyWeakSpotForMassiveDamage
Shared addressing is a hell of a drug.

"Testers". You will probably find more unicorns these days.
VarS311
What are you talking about? I work in software development and almost half the engineering staff are testers
VenDei
Controlling nuked testing. Because it "only delayed development".
SirSquishyTheThird
As one of a maybe 3 testers that I know exist somewhere:

I'll be starting a testing job soon, so I guess that'll be four. Pre-emptive hello!
Indyofthedead
Silly goose, one good look at AAA gaming will tell you they ditched testers a few years ago, it’s all crowd alpha and beta now.
PenisShapedPoops
I was a AAA tester. We exist, but everyone's young.
ThatShiftyMonkey
Crowd Tested Lightbulb Fix: Ask everyone that walks by if the bulb looks lit yet. Do nothing.
MagicalPandaPrince
Assuming you don't know how software development works? :P
BetaAceX
Clever meme. Probably has nothing to do with the exponential increase in complexity of game development without an increase in length of QA.
stja
Oh honey, you have no idea what product state testers who get paid instead of paying deal with. :D
thelaaaaaw
If consumers sees it, it's only because it was much much worse
ServantOfTheGodEmperorOfUsersub
Or it was a feature!

As Designed, most frustrating two words for anyone working as QA.

My favourite JIRA thus far stated just this: "Stage 3 is upside down"

Bwaa ha ha

I wrote a bug once because the entire world geometry would disappear when you stood in one spot. "Not a bug."
thelaaaaaw
remember finding a bug written by a dev for bug 111111 it was entered by a dev and it said "denied"
