Customers have had some rather odd (and stupid things), I bet they feel like fools today.
Customer: "Can you copy the Internet for me on this diskette?" **************************************************
One person worked for an local ISP. Frequently they received phone calls that go something like this: Customer: "Hi. Is this the Internet?"
**************************************************
Some people pay for their online services with checks made payable to "The Internet" **************************************************
Here's another scenario: Customer: "So that'll get me connected to the Internet, right?" ISP: "Yeah." Customer: "And that's the latest version of the Internet, right?" ISP: "Uhh...uh..uhh..yeah."
**************************************************
Isn't this interesting....: ISP: "All right..now double-click on the File Manager icon." Customer: "That's why I hate this Windows – because of the icons – I'm a Protestant, and I don't believe in icons." ISP: "Well, that's just an industry term sir. I don't believe it was meant to —" Customer: "I don't care about any ‘Industry Terms'. I don't believe in icons." ISP: "Well...why don't you click on the ‘little picture' of a file cabinet...is ‘little picture' ok?" Customer: [CLICK] **************************************************
Here's another one for you: Customer: "My computer crashed!" Tech-Support: "It crashed?" Customer: "Yeah, it won't let me play my game." Tech-Support: "All right, hit Control-Alt-Delete to reboot." Customer: "No, it didn't crash — it crashed!" Tech-Support: "Huh?" Customer: "I crashed my game. That's what I said before. Now it doesn't work." (Turned out, the user was playing Lunar Lander and crashed his spaceship) Tech-Support: "Click on ‘File,' then ‘New Game'." Customer: [pause] "WOW! How'd you learn how to do that?"
