Funny Story
When I read this I couldn't help to laugh so I'm sharing it with you guys.
This is a true story from the WordPerfect Helpline which was transcribed from a recording monitoring the customer care department. The Help Desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the WordPerfect organization for: "Termination without Cause." (I think he has a good case):
Help Desk- "Ridge Hall computer assistance; may I help you?"
Customer- "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
Help Desk- "What sort of trouble?"
Customer- "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."
Help Desk- "Went away?"
Customer- "They disappeared."
Help Desk- "Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"
Customer- "Nothing."
Help Desk- "Nothing?"
Customer- "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
Help Desk- "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"
Customer- "How do I tell?"
Help Desk- "Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"
Customer- "What's a sea-prompt?"
Help Desk- "Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?"
Customer- "There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type."
Help Desk- "Does your monitor have a power indicator?"
Customer- "What's a monitor?"
Help Desk- "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?"
Customer- "I don't know."
Help Desk- "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"
Customer- "Yes, I think so."
Help Desk- "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."
Customer- ".......Yes, it is."
Help Desk- "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"
Customer- "No."
Help Desk- "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."
Customer- "....... Okay, here it is."
Help Desk- "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."
Customer- "I can't reach it."
Help Desk- "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"
Customer- "No."
Help Desk- "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"
Customer- "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark."
Help Desk- "Dark?"
Customer- "Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window."
Help Desk- "Well, turn on the office light then."
Customer- "I can't."
Help Desk- "No? Why not?"
Customer- "Because there's a power failure."
Help Desk- "A power... A power failure? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"
Customer- "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
Help Desk- "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."
Customer- "Really? Is it that bad?"
Help Desk- "Yes, I'm afraid it is."
Customer- "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"
Help Desk- "Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer."

Makes me have even more respect for the poor techs, I did not realize what they have to deal with.
