By the way.. thanks for the chuckle ScubaTexan! My hubby's favorite is when someone emails him to ask if the internet is down...

lol, thanks for the giggle :wink:

You're welcome. My personal favorite is when the Weather Channel says they will e-mail you when there is a tornado warning in your area. Yeah, I'm going to stick around for that one.... :icon_roll
 
pants!:
The Geek Squad makes me so angry at Best Buy.

I actually told an overly helpful one "I don't work for your stupid Geek Squad because I'm way overqualified. I probably make twice your salary implementing enterprise network security. I don't need your know-it-all butt trying to tell me I need to bring my PC in because it has spyware. Now quit assuming you're a damn superhero, leave the condescending attitude in the back room with your A+ certification, and leave me alone" the other day.

I had never been so ready to punch someone in my life.

I get to throw their resumes in the trashcan at work, so I'm usually pretty tolerant and patient with them when I run into them at fry's...
 
H2Andy:
don't taunt him, i think he's going to snap any moment now!

how would you feel if your username was pants and your first name was under?
You know me, I would totally embrace that. :11ztongue

Reminds of the time I was babysitting a TV transmitter. Having no backup generator, a power failure took us off the air. The general manager of the station called up and asked me to put up slide telling the viewers why we were off air. :wink:
 
My Mom called the other day...

Mom:"I can't send email"
Me: "can you get on the internet?"
Mom: "But I don't want to get on the internet, I just want to send email..."

I love her, but sometimes it's tough telling someone who used to type 60 wpm on a manual typerwriter that she doesn't need the white out on her new computer...

Aloha, Tim
 
I've been on both ends of this...

"Hi, this is Celine. I can't get my diskette out...
Customer: No ... wait a minute... I hadn't inserted it yet... it's still on my desk... sorry...."

See, I actually am this scattered.

On the other hand... at my last job, I became the "tech" despite my philosophy of repairing computers by clicking on stuff and seeing what happens, and had a guy tell me his computer was "broken" and wouldn't start up, he'd tried everything but he just got the same error message.

I looked at the screen, reached over, ejected the disc from the A drive, and hit a key (though this defective keyboard didn't have an "any" key).. Resurrection!

Of course, at my new job, I'm the one reading the book on a new program, giving my colleagues a blank look, and asking if they make an "Idiot's Guide to..." to which they usually respond "you just read it."
