Eh - Bored at work... Just getting angry at what stupid people say here... I'm a service manager at a local computer shop and answer all technical phone calls (and some sales since people don't know how to hit the #1 on their telephone for Sales)

Yesterday - Customer buys a surge protector and a new computer, brings it home and plugs everything in... Tells us that his GROUND light on the surge protector is on saying he has no grounding.... I ask him, does your house have a 3 prong outlet? Response: "No, I had to use an adapter"

GG - Your house doesn't have a ground, hence, your surge protector doesn't have a ground and will not protect you against surges.

NEXT: Same customer, bought a printer... And while he was here had us set it up, install drivers and print a test page.. All well and good until he brings it home

Customer: Printer isn't working
Me: What have you done so far?
Customer: Plugged it in
Me: Have you turned it on?
Customer: The light's aren't on - I think it's on - It's in the "0" Position
Me: It needs to be in the "1" position
Customer: Oh wow, I think its working

EDIT: While writing this the same customer just called - problems with the internet after installing a program called proxycon... GG

NEXT:
This was quite some time ago but I spent about 10 minutes trying to get a program installed from a cd-rom..... Supposedly.... Finally the customer said "Do I need to put the cd in the drive"

LOL all those things about computers makes me laugh!

One of my friend have a puter shop here and a while back he was telling us some crazy stuff happening and heres 2 I can remember:

1- A lady had bought a computer 2 months ago and have replaced the cd-rom drive 3 time already. So my friend ask the lady what happens each time and she finally said: "This coffee cup holder could be made stronger you know!"

2- A guy, aged between 35-45, bought his first computer. So my friend prepare the puter to be delivered and all goes well and works well. The guy take his new computer at home, plug it and all is good for now. 2 days later the guy call at the shop and say the 3.5" disquette is stuck in the drive. He brings the puter at the shop and my friend realized that the guy add tear the plastic cover and try to insert the round floppy disk in the drive!

I've got a good one.

From when I worked at Ben & Jerry's:

Customer: Wait, your mint ice cream is white?

Me: That's right. We don't use artificial colors in our ice cream.

Customer: So shouldn't your orange cream ice cream be green, since oranges are green?

Me: Blurgh?

I was working at a TOYS 'R' US.

It was like 2-3 days before chrismast and there is 2 young women (around 28-32) that starts shopping and ask me full questions about this and that toys (I was 18 at that time). At some point we were kinda laughing I was making jokes and all... cause I'm that kind of joky guy.

Than 30-45mins later after they got everything, one of them just looked at me and said:

" Toys R Us" means... "Toys are you" right? I said... kinda... so she says: " How much you're worth??? "

I WAS LIKE "DOH!!!!" but she was pretty so... I said for you it's free!


*************************************************************************************************

I was working at a FUTURE SHOP (which is best buy for you)

In the computer departement. So I sell a computer to an old couple. Seems to be their 1st CPU and I sell them the technicien services and the warranty and this and that.... finaly it's a 4k$ kit. They get their computer and install it.

A couple hours later, they call me on the phone and the girl was pretty much unreceptive:

Girl: How do I close my computer?
Me: Well you want to press 'Start' than proceed.....
Girl: No! I don't wanna 'Start' I want to 'Close it'
Me: Yes... but... to close you have to press start...
Girl: ARHH!! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND I DON'T WANT TO START I WANT TO CLOSE!!!!
Me: Yes I understand mam... just listen to me... press on start than.....
Girl: OMFG it closed the CPU...
Me: Doh!
Girl: Well you should change the programs you're selling it's bad that we have to press start to close!
Me: (UrgggGGGGggggg KAMIKAZE!!!!) Yes mam we will!

I work at an outdoor power equipment store.

This guy comes in yesterday complaining that his brand new Chain saw which has only been used twice isn't cutting worth a darn, and than all of a sudden the chain just flew off.

Well he had it installed BACKWARDS...the cutters were facing the wrong way..moron could have lost his leg when the thing just flew off >.<

me: (answering phone) good morning, E The Environmental Magazine, This is blahblah

customer: yes, hi, I'd like to know what your company does.

me: ....

So again... I'm working at a TOYS R' US

A Fatty girl comes and ask for help. (at that time I was working in the Eletronic games which is far far from the toilet) So she ask me to follow her, and... she was like straight aiming the toilet.

I was like WTF?!?!?! I don't want to......... than we get to the toilet... and I START LAUGHING HARDCORE... like I had tears cause I was laughing too hard.

A BIG BIG (not to say HUGE) girl like 375-400 p'n was turteling on her back... the four legs up and she was kinda trying to get up.

What happened is that in our toilets, the air cylinder that auto close the door, was broken. It would go verry slow, and at some point would just close in a heart beat slaming anyone who was not enough fast. She got slamed and felt on her back.

I had to get her up!... man I was laughing hard!

Trust me it really happened! Probably it was her yearly walk I don't know =)

Ok, this one's kind of different. I'm a manager at a Little Caesars pizza restaurant, and we have a drive-thru but no intercom, so people just pull around, order, and pick up their food at the same window.

So this woman pulls up to the window and tries handing us money without telling us her order.. naturally we ask and she says she placed her order back at the speaker. We tried telling her we didn't have a speaker, and she got REALLY mad and started yelling and crap, telling us that she placed her order and it was read back to her. Well, needless to say there was much laughing about this, but she left pretty angry :)

I was working for a RV dealership. I would show customers how to use the RV when they bought one. Some RV's come with generators.

Me: This is the generator. Here is how you turn it on.
Customer: Now will the RV have power when you turn it on?
Me: ....moving right along, this is the .......
