I work tech support for an ISP yesterday I got this
"It wants me to select a country should I put in Florida?"
I immediately hit the mute and began laughing and banging my head on the desk. I have heard Texas is like a whole other country but never Florida...

And now you know why George W. Bush is President.

"It says 'select your state of service'. What should I do?"

I would suggest the only option for "State of Service" to be "Confusion".

mmm-hmmm ... it's frightening to know there are people like this.

*snicker* If that was on a drop down list box I swear I'd have made her look for it, then tell her that Florida must not be a country yet. Oh - and your icon is a scream - love it!

I live in Florida, and therefore I can safely say that the rest of the US would be better off if it did divest itself of Florida.

I used to live in Texas, too. :)

And this is why I hate dealing with residents of Florida.

Either they are 80 year old women whose children bought them a computer to play solitaire or retired people from some rude northern area that thinks their shit doesn't stink and they can mouth off because they pay $[whatever amount] for their high speed.

Two states I really hate - California and Florida.

Kentucky is slowly moving up my list along with South Carolina and then Georgia.

Pennsylvania is getting pretty close there. We call that state "Pennsyltucky."

Now it's coming into hurricane season in Florida where the stupidity starts to ring in.

"Yes, I cannot get connected to the internet! This is ridiculous! I was able to before the two hurricanes."

"SO what you are telling me is that you had connectivity before the hurricanes, the hurricane ended yesterday and you do not have service now on your TV or internet?"

"Right."

"::pause:: We will need time to fix the lines that were blown down by the hurricane and the damage that was done."

"::HUGE SIGH:: Jesus! How long will that take!?"

"::mutters:: Long enough for the next one and the next one to hit knocking you off the map."

Seriously. They didn't lose their life or their house, yet they are bitching about not being able to check their mail for their forwards!
