Worst Explanation From Tech Support?
Disgruntled-with-Tech-Support asks: "Let's face it: At some point or another, we've had to deal with some form of tech support. Quite often, it's a hit-or-miss experience depending on the level of support required. Occasionally, strange, bizarre, or nonsensical explanations result from the problems reported, such as this one: I had just had DSL installed, only to find it much slower than the 56K line I was looking to get rid of. On calling the provider, I was told (by someone who likely reading off cue cards) to visit one of their internal websites for measuring bandwidth. While there, I observed that they had both bytes per second and bits per second listed, and that the number of bytes/sec != bits/sec * 8, rather a factor around 13 or 14. I pointed this out as a possible problem, and the guy's reasoning: 'Uh, it looks like the bytes are getting through to you ok, but the bits are getting stuck someplace.' What was your worst explanation from tech support?"
It's the nigger's fault
That's the first time I've heard that joke before. You are a fucking comedian!
Are you stupid, or was this an attempt at humor? I can't tell...
You're story was just to funny for me.
Just a correction. Punjabis do not live in, or come from Bangalore. So come suck my dick bitch.
Furthermore, it's one of twelve official languages. Indians do not speak Indian. They speak English, Hindi, Urdu, Tamil, Marathi, Bengali, Malayali, Punjabi, Kashmiri and a bunch of others. Oh yea, they're also trying to learn to apeak American - but it's hard for them to learn because whenever most Americans talk, their head is stuck up their arsehole, making hard for the call-centre worker at the other end to be sure they're saying economy or sodomy. Thus causing most Indians to wonder why most prisoners in the Abu Ghraib prison were economised.
Manjeet? Sounds Indian. We have quite a few indian boneheads as our customers, so the above email is not much of an aberration from the norm.
