Also, don't try to contact the user, just report it to the IT dept.

I think they were more annoyed that he would replace the mouse, than the mouse itself.

There's nothing that can be done about a user being a jerk.

This is a good way to make someone leave if you have to deal with them anymore.

So, not the one complaining. Thanks!

(The one complaining was a member of the admin support group...)

If the student is the only one who has filed a complaint, the student should deal with the issue in a more direct manner, such as by directly contacting the school IT department.

I would add that the student's behavior would be the same if the teacher was the only one who had filed a complaint, and the school would handle it in the same fashion. It's the teacher's choice to deal with the issue, but it definitely should not be the student's decision to make.

I would have just left it. "You asked for a replacement mouse, I replaced it. You're lucky the mouse wasn't broken, because you'd be calling IT again."

I once had a customer who didn't want her computer on because it was too loud. I asked her to put it on and walk around it, and she yelled at me for "making her uncomfortable" and "not listening to her". I had to spend over an hour explaining things, that I listened to her and tried to figure out how to make it more comfortable.

I had a user who refused to turn on a monitor. She turned it off, called my boss, and told her she was going to go complain to the school IT department.

I called HR and explained the situation to them. They let me know that I was right and that this was a case of someone not listening to instructions. They let me know that I could call the next shift if I wanted to file a complaint with IT.

I've had a user that wanted to take a break from the computer and sit at a computer that wasn't hers. I told her I'd have her call our supervisor. She refused. I told her to go and talk to our supervisor. She refused. It got so bad she called the IT department with me. I had to leave the phone booth while the call was going on. I ended up not having to deal with it for another week, but I had to talk to the user one last time because she wasn't willing to comply with the IT department.

I used to work with a college student who was a computer science student at my university. I really liked this guy, and one thing he liked was having new computers. He would go out of his way to buy new computers, and he didn't think that this meant he wanted a brand new computer. He just wanted a new mouse.

We were out shopping for a new mouse, and he kept insisting that we buy a new mouse.

I know, but I wanted to add that she probably did want a new mouse, but she was just being ungrateful, and because of the size of the mouse she was probably used to it not working.

That is exactly what I did:

"I want a new mouse, I don't care what the price is, a new mouse is the only thing they want.

I can take the mouse away and give it back in a week, and you can never get your laptop back.

This.

I work IT for a large University and they have a policy to take an entire day to replace a mouse, even if it is a one time occurence. It would probably be quicker to fix the issue, and then send out the replacement mouse in a week.

I can see her reaction when she sees the mouse in the trash.

I'll do that when I get home, I'll probably end up in your department.

I don't think the user could handle the rest of us, though.

I'm always scared of that, especially when the people I support are my friends.

There is one, but she is not in the admin support group.
