1. "My computer friend tried to fix this and did what you just told me to do and it doesnt work".....Funny that cos when i frickin did it properly it works.
2. People who come in to ask my opinion then tell me I am wrong. You know the kind of smartarse who just wants an arguement on something techinical cos he has no friends to argue it with.
3. Being stopped by customers while OUT OF WORK doing my food shopping to answer questions on PC's. Happens at least 3 times every shopping trip. Yes i really do want to talk to you out of work....Yes i'd love to take up my own time to help with your problem that you probably wont even appreciate.
4.Supposed PC experts telling me I have sold them the wrong part when they either chose it without consultation or they have the right part and have no idea how to install it.
5." I bought this from you and can't get it to do something" Yes you bought it 3 years ago you freeloading piece of scum.
6. Chav scum that raids our bins for faulty or Out of warranty stock. Then try to return it to us for a warranty. Newsflash...you are on camera and no proof of purchase...genius
7.Tv programs that encourage people to haggle - Yes by all means haggle with me, cos i do enjoy it...but don't be bloody rude about it.
Wow..I could go on and on :) Such anger

Minor to you....
You peeps have really opened my eyes to how nice my work place truly is.
My only gripe is a minor one...Even as I'm typing this my fellow technician is being a complete twunt and reading over my shoulder while i'm eating my lunch.
Wether it be the newspaper or the b3ta the swine is there. God forbid he realises I'm on lunch before i get past page 3 of the Sun....I'd have drool in my lunch.

Crawly what?
I occasionally deal with people that demand to go straight to my boss for a better price at work. A colleague finally got fed up as they suck up to him. The insult Crawling bumlick was born that day....
others include discovering Newark is an anagram of wa##er. so Certain customer hail from newark.
My personal favourite to fall back on thou is cockcheese!

The little things in life.
I work for one of those medium sized local computer shops. Mostly in the admin part but i do get to moonlight when we are busy. I enjoy helping those who honestly need my help. The people who come in to ask for help and then proceed to argue with me because their knowledgable mate disagrees with me....quite frankly can go to hell :) Their opinion can't be that trustworthy if you still come in for "free" advice
A couple of my favs.....
* Customers taking home their PC - Phoning up later saying they are getting no picture from their monitor. They have plugged the monitor into the onboard graphics rather than their video card. I've done this too :)
* Getting a phone call from a lady almost in tears becuase she couldnt get the @ key. Now i know everyone has suffered this :)
* An elderly gent walked into the shop. Asked me if we sold slippers (bear in mind we are packed to the walls with computer gear on display) I apologised to him and said we don't to which he then shook my hand and walked out again.
*Couples have a domestic at the technical centre because of naughty links on the desktop.Thankfully after lenghty conversations about spyware we manage to save most relationships :)
