What if people bought cars like they buy computers?

One part from it...

Helpline:

"General Motors Helpline, how can I help you?"

Customer:

"My car ran fine for a week, and now it won't go anywhere!"

Helpline:

"Is the gas tank empty?"

Customer:

"Huh? How do I know?"

Helpline:

"There's a little gauge on the front panel, with a needle, and markings from 'E' to 'F'. Where is the needle pointing?"

Customer:

"I see an 'E' but no 'F'."

Helpline:

"You see the 'E' and just to the right is the 'F'."

Customer:

"No, just to the right of the first 'E' is a 'V'."

Helpline:

"A 'V'?!?"

Customer:

"Yeah, there's a 'C', an 'H', the first 'E', then a 'V', followed by 'R', 'O', 'L' ..."

Helpline:

"No, no, no sir! That's the front of the car. When you sit behind the steering wheel, that's the panel I'm talking about."

Customer:

"That steering wheel thingy -- Is that the round thing that honks the horn?"

Helpline:

"Yes, among other things."

Customer:

"The needle's pointing to 'E'. What does that mean?"

Helpline:

"It means that you have to visit a gasoline vendor and purchase some more gasoline. You can install it yourself, or pay the vendor to install it for you."

Customer:

"What? I paid $12,000 for this car! Now you tell me that I have to keep buying more components? I want a car that comes with everything built in!"

My roommate works IT on campus. Here's a gem he came home with last week;

Old lady who works in administration walks in

OL: "Do I have an iPhone?"

IT: "Let me see your phone"

OL: "Here"

IT: "No, that's not an iPhone"

OL: "Oh, how do I get one?"

IT: "Go to the phone store"

Apparently everyone who works in the admin building is getting an iPhone and it's such a fad that the old ladies who don't know what the hell it is must have one. He tells me the stories of these old ladies coming in to figure out how to make calls and access said calendars is even worse, but he hasn't personally handled one of those yet.

Having worked in IT support in the past I can say with certainty, it is better to ask up front than screw up your machine trying to figure it out on your own.

Not all tech support specific, but most all are pretty dang funny.

I found these pretty amusing:

Big Lies Are Better Than Small Ones

LIQUOR STORE | WILLIMANTIC, CT, USA

(Often I enter the beer cooler with shorts, a t-shirt and some rubber-hand work gloves on.)

Me: *walks out of the cooler*

Customer: “Are you f***ing insane? It’s freezing in there.

Me: “I don’t mind it.”

Customer: “That’s bulls***! You know it’s cold. Why would you lie to me?”

Me: “Excuse me? I’m pretty sure I know my own tolerance and I’m working so I get a bit warm, even in there.”

Customer: “WARM!? In a COOLER!? You’re a G**D*** LIAR! How can you be WARM in THERE!”

Me: “I’m Canadian, and ever since my igloo melted I only feel at home in there.”

Customer: “Oh, I didn’t know. I’m sorry for your loss.”

Well Played, Indeed

FAST FOOD | NORTH DAKOTA, USA

(This is a friend’s experience while working at a popular fast food place on the overnight shift.)

Employee: “Thanks for calling, how may I help you?”

Customer: “Hi. I came through drive-thru earlier tonight, and there’s something wrong with my food.”

Employee: “Um, okay…what’s wrong exactly?”

Customer: “Well, I ordered ***, and there was a used condom on the sandwich.”

Employee, holding in a laugh: “Sir, that’s impossible. We don’t practice safe sex here.”

Customer: “Well played.” *hangs up*

Haha those are too funny! But the funny thing is, you don't have to work with customer service to get stupid calls. I have even gotten them to my home. Here's an example from a few years ago (my phone number used to belong to a school a very long time ago but they changed their numbers)...

ME: Hello.

Other person: Hello, where am I?

ME: You just called (my number).

Other person: Oh good, so do you work at this school?

ME: No, this is my home number and I don't work at any school.

Other person: But I just dialed their number, are you sure you're not at a school?

ME: Of course I'm sure, I'm sitting here at home!

Other person: Oh! Well what is the school's number then?

ME: Well how would I know???

Other person: Can you check the phone book?

ME: I don't think so...

Other person: Bye!

:D

oh boy.. This is slowly reminding me of teaching my grandma to use facebook. I'm a bit of a tech geek when i'm not a band geek or playing hockey and I had to teach her facebook the other day. Let's just compare it to a 2 1/2 year old, and potty training.

Why would you ever want to expose a golden girl to Facebook?

My dad added me as a friend and that was a few months after I stop logging in except to find a phone number or accept party or friend requests.

My grandma has asked the Mailman if she has her Email before.
