Do you enjoy tech humor? Tech Monday 7/3/17

Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

What a great week-end! Came to terms on inspections on for one of my listings, firmed up plans for a relocation buyer coming mid July, put the final touches on my quarterly Canyon Creek report; they are printing and being folded, ready to be delivered right after the 4th! Right now I'm enjoying some much earned time with family at the JW Marriott to celebrate July 4th! Its Monday so I didn't forget to share some tech support humor to start your week!

Tech Support: “Thank you for calling ***. How can I help you?”

Customer: “My computer don’t work.”

Tech Support: “I’m sorry to hear that, ma’am. Can I get the serial number off of your CPU?”

Customer: “My what?”

Tech Support: “The computer tower.”

Customer: “Huh?”

(this went on for about 3 more minutes trying to describe the CPU and getting nowhere.)

Tech Support: “I’m sorry, I don’t seem to be expressing myself well today. Can you describe to me all the computer parts on your desk? I’ll tell you which one the number I need is on.”

Customer: “It’s just a keyboard and a screen, like any other computer.”

Tech Support: “Oh, you have a laptop!”

Customer: “A what?”

Me: “A little computer you can take with you. The keyboard and screen fold together with a hinge in the middle, right?”

Customer: “No, I don’t! I don’t know what is wrong with you computer people today. First the sales guy tries to sell me a bunch of crap I don’t need in this big box package and now you don’t even know what a computer is! Brand new today and it don’t even work.”

Tech Support: “So…you just bought a keyboard and a monitor?”

Customer: “What’d I need all the rest uh’ that crap in the box for? This was way cheaper! I ain’t stupid!”

Hahaha! I remember being so frustrated to call customer support. There were so many wires and cables; inevitably they would tell me to reboot this or that, take the end of a paper clip, climb under the desk, find the right thingamagig to stick the paper clip in, etc. And of course there was a language barrier because tech support was in India or somewhere. So glad those days are mostly gone!

Good morning, Dorie --- it may be time for that customer to stay away from the computer and anything technology related.  Enjoy your Monday!

I'd like to know how many time each day tech support tells folks to turn off their computers and then reboot.
