me:"your through to blahdyblah tech support, how can I help you?"
american lady:"I've a problem with my laptop, it won't start"
me:"alright what happens when you press the on button, do any lights come on?"
A-L:"I'm not sure"
Me:"Could you try it now for me?
A-L:"No the laptop's in the office, I'm on my way there now"
Me:"Actually you'd be better off calling back, when you actually get the laptop, actually there's a better department to call, I'll give you the number"
A-L:"Hang on I'll just get a pen from the glove compartment"
Me:"Are you driving?"
A-L:{muffled exclamation}"woah, some idiot nearly crashed into me, what was that number again?"
So apart from the silliness of phoning for tech support without a computer, she was driving, on the phone and trying to write down a phone number
I never heard from her again
