The people who think they are a "tech guy" and know what they are talking about. Most of them haven't even mastered a lightswitch let alone a computer. Had one today. He was positive that windows was asking for a username and password (plus a phone number) to connect to DSL. He had somehow gotten into the dialup setup wizard and was absolutely adament that DSL always asked for this. After dropping a few hints he belonged on a short yellow bus, which he didn't pick up on, I gave him a few really simple instructions. 1) Finish installing Windows before bothering me and 2) open a damn browser then go annoy Dell, not me.DataForkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14241779051549706880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-1158226044092565582006-09-14T02:27:00.000-07:002006-09-14T02:27:00.000-07:00Can I beat that Brad person for you? I work in a DSL support center for a Canadian ISP and I want to inflict much pain on some of the retards that work there. I end up fixing the crap they have their head too far up their asses to deal with. A problem like yours would have taken me 5 minutes flat from start of call to the time I tell sales to shove their order and 30 seconds later you'd have been online. I hate sales too. They are a bunch of retards also.<BR/><BR/>Oh and I hate to say it but you know that CD with the flash based instructions? The customers lose to the retarded colorblind monkeys....then they call and annoy me with their stupidity of them not even having the modem out of the damn box.DataForkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14241779051549706880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-1158082691271351452006-09-12T10:38:00.000-07:002006-09-12T10:38:00.000-07:00Citizen Bleys, I know what you mean man.

You're nothing. You're just a piddly bee to them. (I havn't played FFXI in years:p..I liked killing those bees 'tho) They just want to get rid of you ASAP so the NM can spawn, so they can get the loot, so to speak. <BR/><BR/>In reality, the original sales guy probably either <BR/><BR/>a. Forgot to push the button on his end to say "Dave does want this service!"<BR/><BR/>or<BR/><BR/>b. A new period is coming up, and wants to save the comission for the next period. So they'll hold on to the file for a few days, then when it would make their number look best, hit the button and collect the loot.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunatly, both for you and more than likely your good friend Brad, he was probably under very strict time limits for the call. Because of course, he wants to get HIS loot. But he was right the first time to get you to call sales. Just because their sales department is busy playing gmaes for your money....Karmakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04004985081615301056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-1158024667326709012006-09-11T18:31:00.000-07:002006-09-11T18:31:00.000-07:00Moofaloof: Remember this at the end?<BR/><BR/>"Note: I am well aware of the irony of me getting terrible customer service.

The connection at my house has decided to die a few times without explanation, and every time I had to call tech support in my mom's place in order to get it fixed.<BR/><BR/>Two-thirds of the time I was stuck with a quarter-unintelligible Indian man.<BR/><BR/>And half the time the person I talked to listed steps that I'd already tried. At least twice.<BR/><BR/>And every time I made a call or needed to be transferred to another person, I was put on hold for an ungodly amount of time.<BR/><BR/>Makes an impatient person want to hunt down and horribly mutilate all tech support retards, doesn't it?WanderingJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17531740624715180281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-1157995565316916582006-09-11T10:26:00.000-07:002006-09-11T10:26:00.000-07:00We tell you to visit our website from somewhere else although we know it's absolutely stupid. Oh and the disc is there for people to fucking make the installation but apparently people are so retarded they brain goes in flames when they see so many cables and shit inside a package they just ignore the CD and make a half-assed installation then call back complaining their shit is not working, and I wonder why... By the way. Are you Mr. David Pitman from MN, or was it MA?, who bought a Dry Loop from Verizon DSL and called on Friday on the night? You probably won't answer that one but it's just something I want to get out of my system.Vicente Munozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15749088811028607611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-1157993031088505892006-09-11T09:43:00.000-07:002006-09-11T09:43:00.000-07:00I know how you feel Dave, I get retards like the first example coming to me all the time!
