sounds like our busness so many thick people so little time.never mind they just pay the service call and ask me to write bullshit on the invoice so the other half doesnt find out.i love making easy money !

Reminds me of a helpdesk call we received many years ago, whereby someone called up to tell us that their coffee cup holder had broken on their PC, and could they have a replacement.

yeah, similar issues where I work. someone rang to say their cd player was missing...they'd been using it as a coffee cup holder, not realising it was the cd drive.

isn't that just an urban/office myth?

Yeah, or are people really that stupid?

I believe the first one, I've had it happen. These are the same kids that can't tell you the time off a clock face.

Now first, let me remind you that I'm well over 40, then I'll say this.
When I was 17 I worked in a service station, self serve was unheard of, fuel was 22 cents & my wage was the princely sum of $36.40 aweek.

I have seen the urban legend of the woman driving with her handbag strung over the fully extended choke, wondering why her car was running like a pig.

I"ve had a woman complain that her car was sluggish & a red light was lit on here dash, I let her handbrake off. I don't know how far she had driven but her chrome hubcaps were blue.

Before the feminists abuse me; I worked for a man who told me I should degrease the engine of a transit to make it go better.

Now I work for the railway, & deal with the brain dead daily, passengers & staff.
I love the ones that ask if the train stops at 'X', I ask them to hang on while I read the indicator board.

i work for an aluminium company, and i get 2 or 3 phone calls a day asking if i sell steel! when i tell them i don't, they are usally bermused as to why i don't "but you work at an aluminium place how could you not sell steel?" HELLO!!!!

So... why don't you??? (I'm just kidding guys)

I work in an industrial tool shop supplying brands like Metabo, Hitachi, Milwaulkee, DeWalt power tools. People come in all the time asking for spare parts for very unindustrial tools like Ozito, GMC, XU1, No-name brand.

They get very upset when I explain we only do the high end industrial tools only, and they are best to get the parts from the place where they bought the tool. They say they have tried and that company only sells the tools not the parts.

Some of them have actually gotten a bit aggro about it like it is our fault.
