Oldies vs ComputersAs someone who is "good with computers" I get a lot of calls from people who've got problems. Some of them even have problems with their computers.
Back many years ago working for a telecoms company, I was called to a senior secretary who "had put a disk into the drive and couldn't get it out". She had one of the first Mac II machines with two drive slots. But only one drive.
Opening up the case revealed stacks of floppy disks that she'd been posting through the hole in the case for weeks. She'd only decided there was a problem when her boss wanted one of them back...

Old Guy Touretter? Lying cunt morelike.I get a call from one of our agents here saying that there's a highly abusive old guy shouting at her etc because he cannot get his internet.
I get the caller passed over to me and am greeted with;
"Oih, Jeccy is it? Just to fuckin' tell ya now, I got tourettes. Now I'm fucking pissed off with the lack of internet at the mo you stupid cunt, you're all a bunch of useless fuckers..." He carries on like this for about 3 minutes, and I haven't said a word yet.
Once he finishes his rant, I say nice as pie "Are you done?"
"What the fuck's that meant to mean?"
"Well, as we all know Tourettes Syndrome is an involuntary outburst condition, causing the sufferer to say the most unsociable comments randomly, and moreso in nervous or high-stress situations. You've just sworn at me for 5 minutes straight. Do it one more time, I'll report you to the police you nasty abusive prick."
Christ he was great after that, he didn't swear one more time and I fixed his issue in 5 minutes.
