My first tech related job was Customer Service support for an ISP.

Horrible pay, horrible job.

But in between calls you do get to surf the web all night. :p

I can usually handle it, I've been in and out of some kind of customer service for the past 12 years, but this is the first guy to piss me off after I fixed his problem. That video brightened my day.

go BoFH on the next one

I do this kind of work now, been doing it for years, and can say with all honesty that the less a person understands what they're doing, the more they'll get angry when it breaks. So, people that blow up at you on the phone are usually the most clueless of them all.
