Do you enjoy tech humor? Tech Monday ~ 10-19-15

Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

Oh boy..this week-end flew by!! Showing property, writing an offer, negotiating repairs on a listing and even getting in a listing appointment on Saturday was topped off by a lovely date for dinner with Geno! Sunday Handsome Hudson and Beautiful Beckett came for a swim and BBQ...... Doesn't get any better than that! It’s Monday and much later in the day so "better late than never" with some tech support humor:

A tech support agent works in a call center that supports multiple ISPs, when a very flustered, middle aged woman calls in…

 

 

Tech support: “Hi and thank you for calling (ISP).”

Customer: “My internet is broken!  I was on my computer and now all I see is a big yellow triangle and I can’t even move my mouse!”

Tech support: “Okay, ma’am, have you tried restarting the computer?”

Customer: starting to get angry…“How am I supposed to do that?!  I told you, I can’t move my mouse!”

Tech support: trying very hard to keep the sarcasm out of his voice…  “By holding the power button.”

Customer: very sincerely…“Oh, you can do that?”

Tech support:  “Yes, ma’am.”

Customer: “Oh, my gosh, it worked! You’re a genius!  I am having a party this weekend.  Come have a beer with us!”

Sometimes it's the simplest things that confound us, and I've helped a few people who were this bad off.

So sad but sooooooo true. Most people (agents) just want to scream bloody murder when things don't work, i.e. can't connect to our office network, email isn't working, can't get on the internet, their computer is frozen (always the company's fault) LOL!! But it never fails when you ask if they have tried rebooting, they'll always say, "do you think that might help???" Drives me nuts at times!!

That is my default computer fix, a hard restart will fix many things. Have a great week!

Dorie: As funny as this is, I know there are computer owners out there who are this tech averse.

Hi Dorie --- that power button has been the "solution" to many computer problems.
