How Funny!!! When Melissa was doing tech support for DSL companies, she talked about having people call in who were just about this bad, and they would become angry and frustrated that she was having problems helping them and ask for her supervisor.

Those were hilarious Diana!! Sometimes I feel just like those customers....LOLOL. Not a complete idiot, but enough to scare me....LOL

I have never found the "any" key!

Those are great! I like when they take over your computer and you watch their arrow going around.

(It doesn't take a whole lot to make me happy)

yup the arrow thigny! i love tehc support for work lol and that was a great posting!

I have to admit that I am the type of person who gives the computer techs fits! They always have to explain things 2 or 3 times to me.

OMG that was so funny Diana, sounds like me....:eek:
I was tempted to snatch this one....:D
