Floyd's Alternative Helpline Questions
 
A while ago I used to run a helpline for my brothers Computer Shop and I used to get asked all sorts of questions and I have compiled a list of my favourites to amuse you......to save the embarrassment of the callers I have kept there identities a secret!!

One helpline operator I was working with was mystified when a caller rang to say that his coffee holder on his PC had snapped. After 10 minutes he had established that he was referring to his open CD ROM drive !

A caller was advised to right click on his desktop- "what use is writing on the desk going to do?" he replied.

One irate member of the public rang me and shouted "You sold me this service based on your supposedly wonderful support option. Well I pressed the help button three hours ago and no-one has rung me back yet".

One thicko even rang me to find out the telephone number of the Helpline!!

A customer called the helpline and complained that his printer was broken.
"Tell me the problem", I said
"Well", he replied, "I tried to print on a white T-Shirt but as soon as I fed it in it jammed . I would like to return the printer for another one"
I advised him that it would be better if he printed on the Iron-on transfer paper in the future.

Another caller phoned to say that she had bought Word for Windows and that it wasn't working.
"What sort of Computer are you using I asked her".
"Computer, What Computer?"
