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 :)
