Here's a partial conversation with one of my customers:

Me: "Ok, so there's no internet. Your modem appears to be online. Can I have you restart the machine?"

Ass-tard: "It may take some time. It takes about 45 minutes. I know it has that Windows XP Service pack on it or whatever. It hasn't been shutting it down recently, so I've been un-plugging the power from it."

Me: "You do what to it?"

Ass-tard: "The front power button never works so I just pull the power, then plug it right back in. Everynow and then I'll see this blue screen, but I just ask to skip it, and it boots up the system. This system is a piece of junk, but it's what i've got and I try to take care of it."

Me: "No, you never want to shut it down that way. EVER. Never, ever, ever! "

Ass-tard: "Oh, i've always done it that way ever since I've gotten it. I've had the computer for about 5 years now."

Oh dear god....how is that PC not dead yet?

And to think...this is my monday. Dear lord...who'da thought I would need a drink so early in the week? 

You wish you could make this up....but you can't. 

You can't.
