| My British ex-boss, trying to get help from Tech Support for a wireless setup for the resteraunt:
"Hello? Yeah, I need some help with X.
No, I'm not on the internet, it's not for the internet, I'm just trying to set up a little wireless network in my shop here.
No, I haven't got a connection, I'm not on the internet.
I can't use my modem to connect to the internet, I just said I haven't got a connection.
I just told you, I'm calling about a wireless router, product number XXXXXXX.
I've just said, I can't go on the internet to look anything up! Can you mail me a CD or something?
I can't go on the internet, I haven't got a connection!
I can't connect my modem if I haven't got a connection, can I? The computer doesn't plug into a phone at all, I'm not trying to get on the internet!
I just told you, it's for a small business. I want a non-internet in-house wireless network. I've got everything set up, but the computer says I'm missing this thing, the XXXX. Some kind of driver.
I can't go on the internet to download it, I've just told you, we're not connected to the internet!
I can't connect the modem! We have no connection, no account, we're NOT ON THE INTERNET!"
This went on for twenty minutes. The rest of us stood around in shocked amusement. He mentioned our lack of an internet connection thirty or forty times. The tirade of frustration which ensued once he hung up was of typical Mancunian colour, especially since he'd been routed, of course, to Pakistan.
Hysterical. |
