Too
stupid
Actual dialog of a former Wordperfect Customer
Support employee:
"Ridge Hall computer
assistant; may I help you?"
"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
"What sort of trouble?"
"Well, I was just typing along, and all
of a sudden the words went away."
"Went away?"
"They disappeared."
"Hmm. So what does your screen look like
now?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"It's blank; it won't accept anything
when I type."
"Are you still in WordPerfect, or did
you get out?"
"How do I tell?"
"Can you see the C:\ prompt on the screen?"
"What's a sea-prompt?"
"Never mind. Can you move the cursor
around on the screen?"
"There isn't any cursor: I told you,
it won't accept anything I type."
"Does your monitor have a power indicator?"
"What's a monitor?"
"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?"
"I don't know."
"Well, then look on the back of the monitor
and find where the power cord goes into it.
Can you see that?"
......"Yes, I think so."
"Great! Follow the cord to the plug,
and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."
......"Yes, it is."
"When you were behind the monitor, did
you notice that there were two cables plugged
into the back of it, not just one?"
"No."
"Well, there are. I need you to look
back there again and find the other cable."
......"Okay, here it is."
"Follow it for me, and tell me if it's
plugged securely into the back of your computer."
"I can't reach."
"Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"
"No."
"Even if you maybe put your knee on something
and lean way over?"
"Oh, it's not because I don't have the
right angle-it's because it's dark."
"Dark?"
"Yes-the office light is off, and the
only light I have is coming in from the window."
"Well, turn on the office light then."
"I can't."
No? Why not?"
"Because there's a power outage."
"A power... A power outage? Aha! Okay,
we've got it licked now. Do you still have
the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your
computer came in?"
No? Why not?"
"Because there's a power outage."
"A power... A power outage? Aha! Okay,
we've got it licked now. Do you still have
the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your
computer came in?"
"Well, yes, I keep them in the closet.
"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."
"Really? Is it that bad?"
"Yes, I'm afraid it is."
"Well, all right then, I suppose. What
do I tell them?"
"Tell them you're too stupid to own a
computer."
