Stupid Tech Support
Customer: “The computer i have now is a Pentium Hewlitt-Packard Bell.”
Tech Support: “Are you sure it’s not just a Hewlitt-Packard or maybe a Packard Bell?”
Customer: “Aren’t they the same thing?”
Tech Support: “No, they are different.”
Customer: “Oh, then maybe its a Pentium Bell.”
Tech Support: “Ok.”
Customer: “It has a Pentium III 166 in it.”
Stupid Tech Support
Customer: “I want a Penitum processor, because those Pentiums are just no good.”
Stupid Customers
While working in a small computer store one day I had a customer walk quickly into the store and right up to the counter.
Customer: “I want to buy a mainframe.”
Me: (playing along with the “joke”) “I think I have a couple of them out back.”
Customer: “Good. I need a mainframe because I want to learn how to program in COBOL. I’d prefer a Pentium mainframe, if you have one of those.”
