I just had a person here ask me a question over the phone

her: What is this black boxy thing on my CPU

me: What black thing?

her: its black and has some writing on it

me: what does it say?

her: something about power

me: Is it a power adapter?

her: I dont know.

me: Does it have 2 metal end protruding out of it?

her: Yes.

me: Plug it in the wall

her: oh! my label maker just turned on. I guess that solves the other problem i was going to ask you.

Ha! Idiots are taking over the world.
My wife manages a music store. She had a customer good customer story the other day:

Woman: What does widescreen mean on this dvd?

Wife: It means that the dvd has been formatted for wide screen.

Woman: Will I have to buy a widescreen tv to watch it?

😀
 
the truely scary thing is that she works in customer concerns, and deals with major companies(Ford, Delphi, GM, Toyota, etc) on a daily basis.

I wish you guys could have seen the look on my bosses face as I tried to explain to him that he could get internet access on his laptop using his cell phone.

Talk about a deer caught in the headlights. Sheesh! I thought the poor guy was going to have an aneurism trying to comprehend the concept.

i have gotten the same look explaining to people that they will NOT be able to connect to the company intranet while on their laptop while flying. It's as if our network somehow has jumped technologically to a wireless, modemless network which is all-encompassing.

I did the same thing back in '94 for my boss so he could connect to the office when he was staying on his boat. Tough life...
 
These people need to be turned loose in Afghanistan. Bin Ladin will be found because someone will end up asking him for directions to McDonalds!
 
When I worked for a local ISP I had somebody call and ask me... AND THIS IS NO BULLSH!T...

Woman: "Um yes, could you help me with a problem I am having with the internet."

Me: "Sure, what can I do for you?"

Woman: "Can you tell me what the web address is for yahoo.com?"

Me: *dramatic pause* "ummm... you just said it."

Woman: "Said what?"

Me: *longer dramatic pause (thinking now that this was a trick)* "The web address... you just said it."

Woman: "I don't understand."

Me: "You asked for the web address for yahoo.com... that's it... y-a-h-o-o-.-c-o-m. If you wanna type more you can even add www. at the beginning."

Woman: *train of though still loading at the station* "Oh."

Me: "Anything else?"

Woman: *silence* "Uh, no I... uhh... think that fixed me."


*sigh* Like stated above though... it's those types that us give job security.
