IT Department Horror Stories

A little while back, I posted an article Rants from your IT Department illustrating typical IT complaints about end-users. I'm a bit curious to hear what kind of storied that users have about their IT departments at work, whether they are too unresponsive, or incompetent. Whatever, it may be, I'd like to hear your IT Department horror stories.

I have to call their ass up and say 'hey, can you update my firefox?'. 'hey, can you update my aim?'. 'hey, can you update my google toolbar?'. WTF???? Those guys are absolute power mongers. Some of those bastards in that office don't even know squat. They are just all talk.
