I can’t complain since I chose my job, not forced upon me. But here is a lot of my standard rants at work Me: How can I help you? Customer: I need my WEP key. Me: Ok just one moment. … logged into router remotely, checked security, WEP not enabled. Me: Sir why do you think you need this key? Customer: Well I was told I need this sort of key thinger to get online. Me: Have you tried opening Internet Explorer to get to your homepage? Customer: OMG its working, you are a life saver!!! or Customer: 10 minutes of pissing and moaning about previous techs not fixing his issue, then saying its our network’s reason he can’t get online. Me: Can you press the Internet on/off button on the modem sir? Customer: 10 minutes more of pissing and moaning about how he never pressed that button that it magically came on and that he shouldn’t have to press it. ---

We had a customer call a few weeks ago wanting to put a blow off valve on his NA car. After i explained to him what a BOV does, he got a little upset. He then inquired about something that would make the noise without a bov. I almost felt bad. :picard: ---

on more then one occasion. wait u have to put a satellite in? wwell mam it is direct tv. or " why do u have to run cables to the recievers? well sir how would u get signal i thought it was wireless. service calls were the best yea “this shitty system stopped working for no reason” did you move anything around? "no i dont know what that stuff does. meanwhile the satellite feed line is going right into the tv. or my favorite when the customer gets a searching for satellite signal message so they go out and move the dish 180 degrees the other way. ---

Yeah the cupholder thing on my PC broke. Sadly I got this call twice when doing tech support for Sony. That and I tried getting your disk to fit in the drive by cutting it, and now I can’t get it to eject, you owe me a new one! Or Q: What do you see on your desktop? A: A few pens, and my clicker (mouse)… but what does that have to do with my issue. ---
