It Couldn't Happen Here... Could It? ITIL Humor

1. Service Desk: "Do you see the button on the right side of your mouse?"
Customer: "No. There's just a telephone and a printer".

2. A large service desk once received a fax with a pre-page asking for it to be faxed back when finished with, because they needed to keep a copy.

3. Customer: "Do I need a computer to run your software?"

4. A major ISP recently told us that their finance department occasionally receive cheques made payable to "The Internet"

5. Service Desk: "What appears to be the problem?"
Customer: "When I change the font sizes, the letters all change size."

6. The six phases of an ITIL implementation (adapted):
Enthusiasm
Disillusionment
Panic
Search for the guilty
Punishment of the innocent
Praise for the non-participants

7. What did the small change say to the large change? “I don’t need a ticket - I'll will sneak in with you.”

8. Finally, a VERY old one: To complete 80% of a project takes 80% of the time. The other 20% takes the other 80% of the time.
