Very funny for friday a must read!!?

This is a true story from the WordPerfect helpline. Needless to say, the help desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the Word Perfect organization for ';Termination without Cause.';





Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee with a caller:





';Ridge Hall computer assistant; may I help you?';





';Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect.';





';What sort of trouble?';





';Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away.';





';Went away?';





';They disappeared.';





';Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?';





';Nothing.';





';Nothing?';





';It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type.';





';Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?';





';How do I tell?';





';Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?';





';What's a sea-prompt?';





';Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?';





';There isn't any cursor, I told you, it won't accept anything I type.';





';Does your monitor have a power indicator?';





';What's a monitor?';





';It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?';





';I don't know.';





';Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?';





';Yes, I think so.';





';Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall.';





';.......Yes, it is.';





';When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?';





';No.';





';Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable.';





';.......Okay, here it is.';





';Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer.';





';I can't reach.';





';Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?';





';No.';





';Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?';





';Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark.';





';Dark?';





';Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window.';





';Well, turn on the office light then.';





';I can't.';





';No? Why not?';





';Because there's a power outage.';





';A power... A power outage? Ah, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?';





';Well, yes, I keep them in the closet.';





';Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from.';





';Really? Is it that bad?';





';Yes, I'm afraid it is.';





';Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?';





';Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer.';Very funny for friday a must read!!?

WOW that is hilarious, that sounds like a prank that might have been a real person but I don't think anyone is that stupid. I would have gotten just as pissed
bloody brilliant but prob very true.
power outage.....HA!
How did you avoid the character limit in the extra detail? I don't believe that story is true, no one working in an office could be THAT ignorant about how computers work.





EDIT:


I think Nanny is right. That had to be a prank call, because there is no way someone working on a computer could be that oblivious to the fact that computers need electricity to work.





PS, Sorry for my lack of sense of humor. I laughed my *** off the first time I read this, now I'm just analyzing it...
I am glad it ended that way, I felt like it was talking about me until it got to the light fixture. I am so computer illiterate it
