one from my department

 

 

* Customer: "Hi. I have a Macintosh. I had a disk that I wanted to put in the computer, but it wouldn't go, so I pushed harder, and it wouldn't go, so I pushed REALLY hard, and now it's making funny noises. I think there was a disk in there already."

* Tech Support: "Unplug the computer, now."

* Customer: "I don't want to lose my paper!"

* Tech Support: "Unplug the computer right now. Your paper is lost. Your floppy drive is lost. If you're lucky the Mac will be OK. Unplug it now."

* Customer: "But I don't want to lose my paper!"

 

After a few more repetitions of this, I heard someone, presumably the client's roommate, scream. Then I heard the dorm fire alarm go off in the background. Those things are awful loud, but she didn't seem interested in unplugging the computer, fleeing the fire in her room, or anything else other than arguing with me. Figuring I was doing her a favor, I hung up.

bah, yes yes i kno this. but i want it to remain a wav, as wavs are the only format that windows autoplays (i believe). ever send a wav file over direct connection thru AIM? or ever seen anyone with a wav file as thier icon and it auto plays when u open a convo with them? thats what i mean.

 

oh, and great story!! i demand mp3s of ur fav ones!

A laptop was assigned to me with the symptom "goes real slow." I booted the thing up, and it took over 20 minutes. The system showed only 10% available resources, the Task Bar was completely solid with programs running in the background, and the Desktop was full of icons.

 

I told the owner that the system was running slow because of all of the programs running in the background. His response was that this was a "State of the Art" system (it wasn't) and should be able to handle it. I told him that I drove a Ford Tempo to school and work. It physically had enough room for 10 bags of concrete, but if I put that many bags in it, it would not go very fast if at all. I offered to let him back up his data, and I would restore the system.

 

He didn't like my analogy or solution and proceeded to call the "experts" at the company that manufactured his laptop. He shipped it to them, and they restored it without backup, and it ran fine. Then he came into the store complaining to me about the service. I said, "You asked them to make it go faster, and they did." At that point he got verbally abusive and had to be escorted out of the store.

 

His last words were, "I know you have my programs and data somewhere in here, and my lawyer will be suing you to get it back!"

 

We never saw him again.
