That will be $55 for doing nothing, sir.

I just cleared two machines off my bench that had absolutely nothing wrong with them.

One came in with symptoms of 'No Power.'
I couldn't duplicate the problem, probably 'cause I make sure the power cord is all the way into the socket. Dumbass.

The other one had the classic 'Won't boot, says non-system disk.' We all know where this is going... except there's no disk in the floppy, and it booted up (several times) on my bench. I remember taking this call, and that was the FIRST question I asked before I told them to bring it in. I can't comprehend the lack of clue it would take to a) not notice you had a floppy in, b) not follow instructions or flat out lie to the tech, c) remove it (or have someone remove it for you) and then d) not even try to boot it again.

The only negetive for getting paid off other people's ignorance, is the interaction that's required with them :-D
