TechSideStories is a site based on the tech support stories told by all walks of people. The goal of TechSideStories is to realize how funny tech support is and to share it with others. To show how one person’s pain is another’s enjoyment. How something that may seem simple to some may be rocket science to others. We want/encourage everyone to share their stories here, so that others can see laughter is found in every situation.

All stories are submitted, selected, reviewed and posted. And where possible, we’re going to place a graphic/illustration with the story. To submit your story go to the submit page and fill out the form. You can also leave us a voicemail by calling 469-248-5877

UPDATE: If you are looking for a post from our old site, a lot of them were migrated to LEHSYS.COM. Do a search there and you should find the matching post.

Someone calls into Leo Laporte’s “The Tech Guy” asking how to fix her free Wi-Fi she was stealing from her neighbor. It’s amazing what people expect for free these days. Pretty funny stuff.

No submissions yet to our site so we’ll keep posting content from the web that involve Tech Support. Here we have a new show that just started today called generically, “Help Desk.” The show is a panel of experts from Microsoft answering questions from Microsoft’s Channel 9 forums, twitter, email, and friendfeed with the famous Chris Pirillo as the host.

I’ve embedded the first episode below. With this being microsoft’s site, be sure you have silverlight. Doh!

UPDATE: The original embed did not want to play so I copied the video to my vimeo account.
