Setting aside the fact that she's calling tech support for this:

Has she never heard of shoes?

Or the ass end of a screwdriver?

Or, if the drywall is particularly cheap, just pushing the nail in with a coin between it and her thumb, like I've done in my apartment for years?

I share your pain.

"Ma'am, Unfortunately not only do I not have a hammer I can lend you, I'm in another state. Maybe you should try facilities?" Then watch as they ask you for that number. *g*

when I worked @ doj, we were always getting calls asking for phone numbers as we were about 1 digit off from the main switchboard.

How about their head? They seem thick enough already.....?

Doctor O'Dwyer,
Time to get your head smashed in
with my new hammer.


I love Canadian death-threats in haiku. :)

It's not really haiku if it doesn't mention a season! :)

"One moment, ma'am."

*dial dial dial*

"Hello, lady-caller's boss? This is computer services in $other-state. Can you see lady-caller from where you are? You can? Would you mind terribly much asking her why she's calling an out-of-state computer service to ask where her hammer is? Thanks so much."

Heh. I wierded out the site supervisor yesterday, because I keep in my car based toolkit an air compressor, a 16 oz framing hammer, and a rubber dent pounding mallet.

the hammers are part of my cable installation kit, and the air compressor is useful for blowing out dusty computer innards.

Since she called at 2:00, I would have been unable to resist the temptation to say "You know, if I had a hammer, I would hammer in the morning."
