While on a Vista service call...

...my client managed to catch on fire after having a brilliant idea to heat up his house a bit faster by trying to spill 'some', not all, of a jar of gasoline into the fireplace.

Talk about 'backfiring'.

He ran outside and jumped into the snow.

Yeah... that is all.

Please Die in a Fire.
Oh wait... you already DID?
Well then, thank you sir!

Um....wow.
Just...wow. I don't think there are many stories that can top that one. I mean, catching your computer on fire, yeah OK, but catching yourSELF on fire?

I hope you have a way to enter that little tidbit in your customer database...

Amen. Ticket closed due to self-immolation. Do not escalate.

[jjjiii]

Just the type of person I would expect to have "upgraded" to Vista.

I hope you all learned a lesson about wishing your customers would die in a fire.

That sometimes, if we've been very good, it works?

... it doesn't work properly? They'll burn, but not die?

[alyxyn626.livejournal.com]

ah.. but death is too easy for some of them.. maiming and permanent scarring is forever :)

[quinn222.livejournal.com]

Must request that customers install a fire place.
