Humor me...Mumble, mumble.
Almost everyone at one time or another has had to contact tech support
for something. For tech support people it gets very frustrating at
times. Here's a set of calls I overheard one time.
Tech: Tech support may I help you?
Customer: Yes. My video card isn't working properly and windows won't come up.
Tech: Let's reset the standard VGA and see if it works there.
Customer: I've already done that. It don't work.
Tech: Humor me. I have to check it.
Customer: Mumble, mumble.
Tech: Gives customer step by step instructions to change driver to VGA
Brings windows up. Everything works.
Customer: Mumble, mumble.
Tech: Now, let's reinstall your video drivers for the card.
Customer: Can't do that. I've already tried but it doesn't help.
Tech: We need to try to reinstall the drivers.
Customer: Mumble, mumble...No.
Tech: The only other thing I can suggest at this point, sir, is that you
get on our web page or call our BBS, pick up a current set of drivers
and install them.
Customer: You have to send them to me.
Tech: Sir, do you have a modem?
Customer: Yes.
Tech: I cannot send them to you.
Customer: You're tech support you have to help me.
Tech: Yes sir, I'm tech support. Currently, I've given you several
options and each of them you've refused to try. I'm afraid I'm going to
have to ask you to call us back when you really are ready for someone to
help you. There is nothing I can do for you at this point.
Call Ended - Two calls later same tech...same customer.
Tech: Tech support, may I help you?
Customer: You're the asshole I just talked to aren't you?
Tech: Yes sir.
Customer: What's the matter with you, are you fucking crazy, what kind of
customer service are you providing.
Tech: Sorry sir, I can only work with what I have to work with. As for
crazy, my psychiatrist says that I'm over the worst of it. I still take
my prozac every day, as well as the tarazadon, which by the way is the
same medication the unibomber was taking. May I have your home address
for my records?
Customer: CLICK...dial tone.
Another tech about 2 hours later, same customer.
Tech: Tech support, may I help you?
Customer: I've called in three times this morning, you have a tech named
xxxx. What's his problem this morning?
Tech: Nothing that I know of. He's been polishing his 9mm ever since I
walked in about an hour ago. Can I help you with something?
Customer: My video card is not working right.
Tech: Lets set you to VGA and go from there.
Customer: No.
Tech: Well, sir, I can only suggest at this point you send the card in
for repair 'cause it's probably bad.
Customer: How long will it take to get it repaired?
Tech: Our current quote for returns is 60 days. Here's the phone number
for our RMA department, thank you.
