By building an intentionally huge suggestion box into every account created on CollegeMedium, We’ve successfully evoked some weird comments from our lovely users.
Let me share a few:
“Although I’m a future grad student, Facebook says I’m not, so I can’t read ads here. That’s pathetic.â€?
“word to motha�
“because i am a !@#$ student and your saying i’m not!â€?
And now for the better ones:
“thanks guys. i got my roommate through this awesome website. thanks again!�
“advertise on Google and facebook so ppl know about ur terrific service. thanks for keeping it students only ..ash�
“MAKE MORE POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS AWARE THAT THEY CAN ADVERTISE THEIR JOBS ON COLLEGEMEDIUM.�
Thanks for the comments (both good and bad)….we’re still working on it…
 interesting…

I got the conversations below from a friend so I’m not really sure how to cite it. Do enjoy =)
   ===============
Tech support: Â Good day. How may I help you?
Male customer: Â Hello… I can’t print.
Tech support: Would you click on “start” Â for me and…
Customer: Â Listen pal; don’t start getting technical on me! I’m not Bill Gates.
  ===============
Customer: Â Hi, good afternoon, this is Martha, I can’t print. Every time I try, it says ‘Can’t find printer’. Â I’ve even lifted the printer and placed it in front of the monitor, but the computer still says he can’t find it…
  ============== =
Customer: Â I have problems printing in red..
Tech support: Â Do you have a color printer?
Customer: Â Aaaah………………..thank you.
Â
  ===============
Tech support: Â What’s on your monitor now, ma’am?
Customer: Â A teddy bear my boyfriend bought for me at the 7-11.
  ===============
Customer: Â My keyboard is not working anymore.
Tech support: Â Are you sure it’s plugged into the computer?
Customer: Â No. I can’t get behind the computer.
Tech support: Â Pick up your keyboard and walk 10 paces back.
Customer:! Â OK
Tech support: Â Did the keyboard come with you?
Customer: Â Yes
Tech support: Â That means the keyboard is not plugged in. Is there another keyboard?
Customer: Â Yes, there’s another one here. Ah..that one does work…
Â
  ===============
Tech support: Â Your password is the small letter “a” as in apple, a capital letter V as n Victor, the number 7.
Customer: Â Is that 7 in capital letters ?
Â
  == =============
Customer: Â can’t get on the Internet.
Tech support: Â Are you sure you used the right password?
Customer: Â Yes, I’m sure. I saw my colleague do it.
Tech support: Â Can you tell me what the password was?
Customer: Â Five stars.
Â
 ===============
Tech support: Â What anti-virus program do you use?
Customer: Â Netscape.
Tech support: Â That’s not an anti-virus program.
Customer: Â Oh, sorry…Internet Explorer.
Â
  ===============
Customer: Â Â I have a huge problem. A friend has placed a screen saver on my computer, but every time I move the mouse, it disappears.
Â
  ===============
Tech support: Â How may I help you?
Customer: Â I’m writing my first e-mail.
Tech support: Â OK, Â and what seems to be the problem?
Customer: Â Well, I have the letter ‘a’ in the address, but how do I get the circle around it?
Â
  ===============
A woman customer called the Canon help desk with a problem with her printer.
Tech support: Â Are you running it under windows?
Customer:  “No, my desk is next to the door, but that is a good point.  The man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window, and his  printer is working fine.”
Â
  ===============
And last but not least…
Tech support:”Okay Bob, let’s press the control and escape keys at the same time. That brings up a task list in the middle of the screen. Now type the letter “P” to bring up the Program Manager.”
Customer: Â I don’t have a P.
Tech support: Â On your keyboard, Bob.
Customer: Â What do you mean?
Tech support: Â “P”…..on your keyboard, Bob.
Customer: Â I’M NOT GOING TO DO THAT!
