Paco: Me
Cx: Customer

Paco: "Thank you for calling *cough* dsl, my name is Paco, how can I help you?
Cx: "The internet won't work!"
Paco: *So start charging it rent.* "What's it doing wrong?"
Cx: "I've got no lights and I can't get to any websites."
Paco: "You mean you have no lights on the modem?"
Cx: "That's right."
Paco: *My head hurts* "Ok, stupid question, is the modem plugged in and turned on?"
Cx: "Of course it is! I've got this cable running right to my computer?"
Paco: "The yellow one?"
Cx: "Yes."
Paco: "That's the ethernet. Is there a black one plugged into the modem?"
Cx: "Black... one?"
Paco: "Uh-huh."
Cx: "There's a beige one, that leads right to the phone jack. Is that it?"
Paco: "It's not black, is it?"
Cx: "No."
Paco: "Then it's not the one I asked for. Where's the black one plugged in?"
Cx: "Oh, it's just hanging there near the modem."
Paco: "Plug it in."
Cx: "Ok. It still doesn't work!"
Paco: "Do you have lights?"
Cx: "Yes, but they're all flashing, the ready light, the ethernet, and the USB won't come on at all! This thing is messed up, I need a new modem!"
Paco: "Ready light stopped flashing yet?"
Cx: "Yes, it did, but it's still not *AIM sign-in sound* What was that?"
Paco: "You're online. Anything else I can help you with?"
Cx: "Oh, *click click* I AM! I guess I should have checked that 'power' thing first. Hehe!"
Paco: "Yes, I guess you should have. Thank you for calling."

Paco: "Thank you for calling *cough* DSL service. My name is Paco. How may I help you?"
Cx2: "I can't connect to the internet."
Paco: "Which DSL modem are you using?"
Cx2: "Westell Wirespeed."
Paco: "And are you connected directly, or using a router?"
Cx2: "Directly, well, this computer is."
Paco: "How are the other computers connected?"
Cx2: "Well I have two other computers, but I'm not using them right now."
Paco: "Do they connect to this DSL?"
Cx2: "Yes."
Paco: "How?"
Cx2: "Through the linksys."
Paco: "So there IS a router."
Cx2: "Oh, then yes, we do have a router."

I know misogyny is bad, but it doesn't help that both these callers are female. I hate women. But I feel okay with that because I think the only thing worse than women are men.

What's the equivalent word for 'man hating'? I know misogyny, but I need an equivalent word to express my derision of mobile phallus platforms as well.
