Sorry, had to write it quickly the first time.

I was troubleshooting with a customer on the phone, and trying to set up her modem on a USB connetion.

So I asked her if she had a usb cable. She didn't know what it was.

I gave her a description
"A plastic cord with metal on the inside, look at the end of it for a piece of metal there."

"Well, how am I suppose to tell the difference here, don't all cords have metal in them"

I realised she was right :(

Look, maybe he was a secret shopper, and was testing if you'd explode at such a simple question?

...so, this is what you talk about on your "dates"?

You know, you'll get a bigger tip if you don't talk tech to them... ;)

Quit your job and become a buddhist monk. Remember- attachment is suffering.

If you're doing end-user PC support, I call shens on the whole escort thing.
