Some people seem to lead complete fantasy lives with lies stacked on lies stacked on more lies. Tell us about the ones you've met.
BTW, if any of you want to admit to making up all your QOTW stories, now would be a good time to do it.

Spoke to a customer once......this old lady who lived in Swansea.
"Sorry luv, but your router is to blame. Contact the manufacturer and they will get it sorted for you." says I.
"No it isn't. My son's friend from next door has looked at this, and he says it's not my routers fault."
"Well we've proved it works without the router, what did your son's friend do?"
"I don't know, but he's very high up with the Microsoft" says she.
"Of course, I forgot Bill Gates relocated Microsoft to the Gower, how twattish of me" thinks I. I do think your next door neighbour might be bordering on the lines of being "a bit of a lying cunty".
The one thing anyone in IT dredd to hear is "Well my friend is a dab hand at these and he says everything looks ok", because 9 times out of 10 the friend aint got a clue and just blatantly bullshitted a "Well it looks ok..." comment.
So here's to the "technical friend", the mythical status donned to people who aint got a clue, but like to blame the network as "solitaire runs like a dream, can't be your computer luv". Bunch of lying clueless time-wasting wank-offs, the lorra them.

UnfortunatelyI often get roped into the technical friend scenario. Nothing worse than free family IT Consults.
I apologize for a phone call you've likely had based on my analysis.

I have also been the 'technical friend' more than once.Though usually it's after they have called Tech Support and been fobbed off with the usual "reinstall windows/turn it off and back on/you didn't pray hard enough".

YehApparently I missed the obvious fix for a slow machine at my in-laws' - "The antivirus was slowing it down, so I turned it off." as pointed out by a technical friend of theirs - a data entry clerk.
