    Tech Support: "Why did you do that?"
    Customer: "Because I didn't like yours


    Woman: (exasperated) "I'm sure it's the correct password. I typed in the one I saw (another co-worker) use to login to her machine."

    Customer: "Three months, And I have only been able to log on once!"
    Tech Support: "Ok sir, before I cancel your account may I ask what the problem is that you've been having?"
    Customer: "Yes, every time I go to type in my password it won't let me!"
    Tech Support: "It won't let you? What does it do when you try to type in the password?"
    Customer: "All the ******* thing does is ding!"
    Tech Support: "Sir, are you in front of your computer now?"

    Tech Support: "What screen is in front of you right now?"
    Customer: "The welcome screen, why?"
    Tech Support: "Could you please hit your tab key and try typing your password."

    Furioous Customer: "I bought the Internet the other day, and it ain't workin'."

    Customer: "Well, I called that number that you gave me, and it don't do nothing."

    Customer: "Ummm, no...I don't know that kind of stuff."
    Tech Support: "Is there anybody there that would know?"
    Customer: "No, the office is closed; I'm the only one here."
    Tech Support: "Then I'm sorry, I think you will have to have your network administrator call us."
    Customer: "I am the network administrator."
    Tech Support: "And you don't know what kind of router you have?"

    I banged my head where you said and now there's a crack on the television thing. What should I do? I'm also bleeding quite badly, so I hit 999 on the keyboard, but the ambulance hasn't shown up yet - any idea why?



    All the best!

    Tech Support: Hello how may i help you?
    Customer: I was on my computer typing and then the screen went blank
    Tech Support: OK can you check to see if the monitor is plugged in correctly at the back of the computer
    Customer: I am looking now, i cant really see, there is only a bit of light coming from the window, the lights went out with the power cut.
    Tech Support: OK i know the problem, you will have to put the computer back in the box and bring it back to the shop where you bought it.
    Customer: is it really that bad?
    Tech Support: yes, just do that and tell them that you are too stupid to own a computer.
