Tidus44 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Got a call from “Micro-Soft Support” today warning that my computer was being attacked by viruses. I surpassed my personal best and had the guy on the phone for 46 minutes and 28 seconds. At the end, he was crying and was most definitely screaming at me in frustration. My favourite part? Playing the sound file I have of a dial-up modem while holding the phone close to the speaker. That always seems to get the caller really agitated. This is fun too. Asked to type a command like “CD space backslash." I say “CP?"He says, "No, CD." I say, “OK, CD slash backspace." He says, “No, CD space backslash." I say, “CD slash space backspace." He says, "No, CD space backslash."Me, “CD slash backspace." Do this until he is basically yelling, then I repeat it correctly; so he says “Press the ‘ENTER’ key.” Then when he asks did such and such happen, I say, “No, nothing happened”. You can almost hear them start to cry. Anyway, it seems these callers have no level of perspicacity (The capacity to assess situations or circumstances and to draw sound conclusions).

Aurielius Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 mischievous- full of mischief: expressing somebody's intention or inclination to have fun by teasing, playing tricks. Consider yourself fortunate that it was not reciprocated.....paybacks can be a distaff dog . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidus44 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) I would try some of the activities in the video, except for my atychiphobia (a fear of failure) which sort of triggers my dystychiphobia (fear of accidents) and thus my odynophobia (fear of pain).

Aurielius Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Most of them are do able except the powered wing ....the two Sacrosanct (unbreakable ) rules I go by...Never leave a perfectly functioning aircraft unless you absolutely positively have to, two never strap an ACME rocket to your back and expect results other than what Willy Coyote gets. :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
