there are some silly people in this world who dont really think on a logical or even reasonable path of thought. On the other hand, it is a pain when you do have to call for tech support and you end up speaking to an indian or pakistani who can speak english, buttheir accent is so strong you cannot understand them. Plus they then end up going through all the standard checks that you have already covered yourself, but they use a pre-printed card with set questions for each relevant fault.
Not too sure which one is worse!!!!!!!!!11

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! I laughed the loudest when reading the Martha one. Placed the printer in front of the monitor and the computer still says he can't find it. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh my goodness.
These people are hilarious. ^_______^ I mean, I can understand that sometimes, talking to tech support can be a little tense when trying to explain and understand the problem. But...these people are just..too funny ^_________^
Are these real calls to you, Barnabus, or just jokes you found from somewhere?

It's a little hard to believe that people can really be that stupid...but the reports show it --as it is!!! Kinda like the lady who called poison control that her little one ate some ants, he said it was OK...NP good she sayd, but I gave hime some ant poison just in case!! dumb and dummer!!!

Hahahaha!! That's insane. ^_______^ Feeding the kid ant poison.
But, I think that is a joke. Like what you'd find in Reader's Digest sometimes. Then again...Reader's Digest does have some true jokes that are simply hilarious and silly, just like what you posted up here.
The funny thing is that those people don't feel that they are being silly, either due to their stressed minds or...natural...innocence...
