Tech Support
Brilliant HP Technician: To rule out the issue with the harware of the notebook I recommand you to check the audio with headphones.
Caleb: I’ve checked with headphones.
Caleb: The buzzing is also in the headphones, and the buzzing in the built-in speaker continues.
Caleb: Considering plugging in headphones usually stops the audio in the main speakers, I think the issue is hardware.
Tech: I appreciate your thinking.
Caleb: That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard from tech support.The conversation also featured awesome moments in grammar, like “was your notebook came preinstalled with,” and this:
Tech: Did the installation of patch is over?Also, gems like this:
Tech: To better assist you, may I have the Serial (eg: CNS34915MC), Product (eg:DS542U) number.
Caleb: Sure, just scroll up. I gave it to you about fifteen minutes ago.So it seems that once again, my beloved Lappy is destined to make the journey back to from where it was came (hey, with grammar like that, I should work for tech support!).

I love tech support.
I didn’t know lemons brought voices back. I should try that. My voice is still operating about about 70% capacity.
And the moral of this story is. . . switch to Apple ASAP.
Sounds like he was speaking in tongues.
larry
sounds like the run around…
that is hilarious.
And I love lemonade.
Bahahahahaha! I get the feeling they use those really horrible online translation sites.
ryc: No, Bush isn’t perfect and he has made mistakes and certainly screwed a few things up, but his administration is undoubtedly better than what the alternatives would have been.
ryc: thanks! and i agree that bush’s first term was better than his second. oh, and tech support is a joke, lol.
Hablo uno piquito… it’s been a few years. What took you to Mexico for that long?
ryc: that’s pretty cool. it’s awesome that you got to have that experience.
everytime i see ‘techsupport’ somewhere, i think of my sister’s coworker, who thinks its ‘texaport’.
eh….
Did you know that a lot of people on tech support are actually people hired OUTSIDE of the country? A lot of people are actually in India. Which is exactly why my conversations with them tend to sometimes be..
“My internet is not working.”
“I’m sorry mame, could you repeat that?”
“My internet is not working.”
“Your internet?”
“Yes. My internet.”
“Is not working?”
“Right.”
“Ok.”
