This has got to be one of the funniest I've heard of in a long time.
I think this guy should
have been promoted, not fired. This is a true story from the Word Perfect
Helpline which was transcribed from a recording monitoring the customer care
department. Needless to say the HelpDesk employee was fired;however, he/she is
currently suing the Word Perfect organization for "Termination without
Cause."
Actual dialogue of a
former WordPerfect Customer Support employee
(now I know why they
record these conversations)!
"Ridge Hall
computer assistance; may I help you?"
"Yes, well, I'm
having trouble with WordPerfect."
"What sort of
trouble?"
"Well, I was just
typing along, and all of a sudden the words went
away."
"Went away?"
"They
disappeared."
"Hmm. So what does
your screen look like now?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"It's blank; it
won't accept anything when I type."
"Are you still in
WordPerfect, or did you get out?"
"How do I
tell?"
"Can you see the C:
prompt on the screen?"
"What's a
sea-prompt?"
"Never mind, can
you move your cursor around the screen?"
"There isn't any
cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I
type."
"Does your monitor
have a power indicator?"
"What's a
monitor?"
"It's the thing
with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it
have a little light that
tells you when it's on?"
"I don't
know."
"Well, then look on
the back of the monitor and find where the
power
cord
goes into it. Can you
see that?"
"Yes, I think
so."
"Great. Follow the
cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged
into
the
wall."
"Yes, it is."
"When you were
behind the monitor, did you notice that there were
two
> >cables
plugged into the back of
it, not just one?"
"No."
"Well, there are. I
need you to look back there again and find the
other
cable."
"Okay, here it
is."
"Follow it for me,
and tell me if it's plugged securely into the
back
of
your
computer."
"I can't
reach."
"Uh huh. Well, can
you see if it is?"
"No."
"Even if you maybe
put your knee on something and lean way over?"
"Oh, it's not
because I don't have the right angle -- it's because
it's dark."
"Dark?"
"Yes, -the office
light is off, and the only light I have is coming
in from the
window."
"Well, turn on the
office light then."
"I can't."
"No? Why not?"
"Because there's a
power failure."
"A power... A power
failure? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do
you still have the boxes
and manuals and packing stuff your computer came
in?"
"Well, yes, I keep
them in the closet."
"Good. Go get them,
and unplug your system and pack it up just like
it was when you got it.
Then take it back to the store you bought it
from."
"Really? Is it that
bad?"
"Yes, I'm afraid it
is."
"Well, all right
then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"
"Tell them you're
too fucking stupid to own a computer."
