Do you enjoy tech humor? Tech Monday ~ 3/6/17

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

What a week-end! We enjoyed lots of rain and I worked with 2 different clients buying new construction. Enjoyed date night with Geno in the Domain and was able to catch up on some emails and write some posts. Melissa had a fantastic open house and ended up with multiple offers!! Now it's Monday morning so grab a cup of your favorite brew and join me for some tech support humor to start your week.

Tech Support: “Hey, my name is ***, what can I do for you?”

Old Man: “My great-grandson was telling me about this really neat thing on his computer. I would like to buy it.”

Tech Support: “So your nephew has this ‘thing’…what does it do?”

Old Man: “Well, he was showing me videos and we played a few puzzles. I was also able to check my lottery numbers.”

Tech Support: “Oh, the internet…you’re just looking to hook up the internet in your house?”

Old Man: “Yes, I would like to buy the internet.”

Tech Support: “Um, well you don’t purchase the actual internet. It’s kinda like paying your phone bill. You pay them and they give you phone services.”

Old Man: “I know how a telephone works! Would you like to make some commission on this internet sale or should I take my business elsewhere?”

Tech Support: “Sir, I don’t think you understand. You need to call Shaw, Telus, or Rogers and they will come hook up your internet. It’s not a physical thing.”

Old Man: “I am writing to the Better Business Bureau and reporting this incident to your manager. I know what the internet is, WalMart has it! I’m going to take my purchase to them!”

Good morning Dorie.  I can't write much as I have to hurry to Wal-Mart and buy the Internet.

Computer tech support is a whole other realm of its own.  I recently bought a new HP printer, and couldn't get it to print out, even though the screen was saying it was printing.  HP tech support couldn't help me, and ultimately, I gave up with them.  Finally, after a couple of hours of tinkering, I shut the paper drawer to the printer, and things worked find. I was having a very blonde moment.
