Customer: “Hi, I recently bought a computer, and I seem to be having problems.”

Tech Support: “What type of problems?”

Customer: “Nothing seems to be working at all.”

Tech Support: “Hmmm, what kind of computer is it?”

Customer: “[brand].”

Tech Support: “Actually, we don’t sell that brand of computer here.”

Customer: “I know, I bought it from a friend of mine.”

Tech Support: “May I ask why you are calling us for support?”

Customer: “Aren’t you a computer store?”

Tech Support: “Yes.”

Customer: “Well, I was in there yesterday.”

Tech Support: “And you bought something from us?”

Customer: “No, but you sell computers so you should fix them.”

Tech Support: “Did we sell your computer to you?”

Customer: “No.”

Tech Support: “Did we sell anything to you?”

Customer: “No.”

Tech Support: “Why should we be supporting something we didn’t sell you?”

Customer: “Well, who should I be calling?”

Tech Support: “Probably your friend, or the manufacturer of the computer.”

Customer: “You are not very much help, you know.”

Tech Support: “I am sorry but there is not much I can do for you, unless you would like to bring the computer in and pay a fee for fixing it.”

Customer: “Why should I have to pay for you to work on my computer?”

Tech Support: “Sir, I am hanging up now.”
