Ok, so you're in a hurry and you don't want to stay on the phone all that long. Thats ok I would rather not be talking to you either. So what do you do when I tell you to do something?

A) Just do it.
B) Ask me if I want you to do what I told you to.
C) Ask me if I want you to do something else somewhere else on your computer.
D) B & C along with some random clicks on crap along the way even though I've told you not to touch anything else.
E) D along with babbling like a drunken moron.


This customer chose E. I needed two 222s (for those of you not familiar with pain killers, it's extra strength asprin with codine and caffein) before making it 1/2 way through a manual uninstall (on a mac, delete a bunch of files, on a pc, delete a bunch of files and reg keys)

Damn, I must be inured to that crap by now. I tend to let them dribble on - either they'll eventually realise that they're sabotaging themselves, or they will spend a very unhappy life. Either way, not my place to care.

oh god, you're in canada, aren't you?

I <3 222s. I practically lived on them in college when I had tension headaches. I made one of the girls in my dorm buy me a bottle of them whenever she went home for breaks.

Oh, I love that little phenomenon.

"Okay, click on your Start button, please."

"You want me to click Start?"

No sir, I was just testing you. WTF??

Why 222 when .223 works so much better?
