Who the FUCK calls their ISP and goes 'Hi! I just bought a new hard drive. Can you fax over instructions as to how to install it?'

AND THEN when I say NO, goes 'But I AM A CUSTOMER! And this is my COMPUTER! That I use to connect to YOUR SERVICE! Which I PAY FOR!'

Who?

It baffles me that people are people, sometimes.

I get questions like this at least once a week.

They think that because we give them a way to get to the internet, we know everything about computers, and should.

You very carefully explain to them that "we provide you the connection. That's our product. Your computer you purchased separately and independently of our service. That's not our product. As such we would be not only unprofessional but irresponsible to try to tell you how to install or do anything on a product not ours."

...I *reckon* I was that polite, but I wasn't that forthcoming with the wherefores. Because by damn, was I taken aback. :>

Dude, you so need to get this comic called 'The Perhapanauts'. TRUST ME.

You will get asked stupider questions than that. Fortify your mind.

As for comics -- can't afford 'em.
