...at least I'm told it's a true story...
transcription from a call centre, the agent is appealing his dismissal...
>> Operator: "Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?"
>> Caller: "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
>> Operator: "What sort of trouble??"
>> Caller: "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."
>> Operator: "Went away?"
>> Caller: "They disappeared."
>> Operator: "Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"
>> Caller: "Nothing."
>> Operator: "Nothing??"
>> Caller: "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
>> Operator: "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out??"
>> Caller: "How do I tell?"
>> Operator: "Can you see the C: prompt on the screen??"
>> Caller: "What's a sea-prompt?"
>> Operator: "Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?"
>> Caller: "There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type."
>> Operator: "Does your monitor have a power indicator??"
>> Caller: "What's a monitor?"
>> Operator: "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on??"
>> Caller: "I don't know."
>> Operator: "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that??"
>> Caller: "Yes, I think so."
>> Operator: "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall.
>> Caller: "Yes, it is."
>> Operator: "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one??"
>> Caller: "No."
>> Operator: "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."
>> Caller: "Okay, here it is."
>> Operator: "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."
>> Caller: "I can't reach."
>> Operator: "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is??"
>> Caller: "No."
>> Operator: "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over??"
>> Caller: "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark."
>> Operator: "Dark??"
>> Caller: "Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window."
>> Operator: "Well, turn on the office light then."
>> Caller: "I can't."
>> Operator: "No? Why not??"
>> Caller: "Because there's a power failure."
>> Operator: "A power....................................... A power failure? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now.
>> Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in??"
>> Caller: "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
>> Operator: "Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from.."
>> Caller: "Really? Is it that bad?"
>> Operator: "Yes, I'm afraid it is."
>> Caller: "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them??"
>> Operator: "Tell them you're too f*%king stupid to own a computer!!!!!"
