    Person on phone, Tony do you know the number of anyone in the area I can call to have a quick (HA HA) look at my computer.
    Me idiot that I am, Why what’s wrong?
    Person on Phone, Its gone all funny and takes ages to do anything.
    Me, OK what windows are you using.
    Person on phone, Triple glazed none reflecting float glass.
    Me, coughing to avoid sounds of laughter hurting her ears.
    Me, no pet, what does it say when you switch it on.
    Person on phone, it doesn’t say anything I’ve switched the speakers off.
    Me, OK pet never mind, have you done anything to it recently.
    Person on phone, I gave it a good clean yesterday.
    Me, good girl (She’s about 60) well done.
    Person on phone, there’s not a speck of dust anywhere.
    Me, gripping a rolled up sock between my teeth, I’ll be round in about an hour.
    1 hour later.
    Oh Tony thanks you for coming.
    3 hours, 4 cups of tea, and several fairy cakes later I leave clutching a Victoria sponge cake to my chest, vowing to form

    Yeah, I just cleaned up one that had at least 5 tool bars and 3 anti virus programs running, ran like a piece of you know what.

    And this was from a former student of mine!

    Just shows what a great teacher I am. :-o:-o

    But she has since relayed messages 3 times as to how good her computer runs now, which was what I thought I was teaching in the first place.

    This is true honestly.

    Friend, Tony, can you put Microsoft Office on my laptop for me.
    Me, Certainly Mike I’ll be round later, but why not do it yourself, stick the disc in and follow the instructions.
    Friend, Can you do it Tony I’ll make a mess of it.
    Me, not to be caught out by the double-glazed Windows again, what version of Microsoft Windows is on your machine,
    Friend, Its Windows 7, I finished work last week and they gave me a laptop.
    Me, how big is it Mike.
    Friend, about 17” x 12”
    Me, sorry about this Mike, I’ve got to go, a pterodactyl just flown off with the cat.

    LOL I remember the first time I wanted to install Office on my first computer. I asked a friend to do it as well, because I was afraid I'd screw it up. He rolled his eyes and told me it would cost a six pack and a fifth of tequila. LOL

    Someone mention cake??????

    I think we all probably have some story about fixing peoples computers, anywhere from someone complaining that there sound has stopped ( try turning on the speakers power ) to the serious where you just want to tell the person to take the box out of the closet and take the computer back to the store. :-D

    Guessing you learned how to install it yourself pretty quickly. :-D


    I just got a call from my sister in law that started with 'I know Macs aren't supposed to get viruses....' roflmao

    I told her, sorry, I know nothing of Macs and she'll have to go to the apple store and wait in those lines I hear about. :-D
