Stupid Things Overheard

Girl on cell: So, she trusted this woman to watch over her baby, right? And then she takes the baby to the zoo for a photo shoot and comes back with the wrong baby!

Stupid Customers

A call to the technical support line for a cell phone company:

Customer: “The numbers on my caller ID are going blurry!”

Tech Support: “Sir, I think you might just need a new battery.”

Customer: “Well, can you tell me how to change it?”

Tech Support: “Excuse me?”

Customer: “How am I supposed to change this battery?”

Tech Support: “Sir, all you need to do is replace the battery. It’s not that hard.”

Customer: “Can you send out a repairman to do it for me?”

What? He had to be kidding.

Tech Support: “We normally don’t send out repairmen to change batteries.”

Customer: “What? I can’t change this battery by myself!”

After a few more minutes of angry yelling on his part that we would not be sending a repairman to go change the battery for him, he got on the phone with supervisor and demanded I be fired.

Needless to say, I wasn’t.

Customer: “No, I can’t do that.”

Tech Support: “Why not?”

Customer: “Well, it’s not there.”

Tech Support: “It’s WHAT?”
