I'm not clicking that link.

Hey, someone else who knows what a Piggly Wiggly is!

Hey, someone else who knows what a Piggly Wiggly is!

My grandparents used to shop at Piggly Wiggly when I was a kid.

[The Darkling Wolf]

heres my customer service experience:

lady: i can't access my websites mailbox.

Me: do you have connection to the internet?

lady: i'm not sure

Me: is your router plugged in?

lady: no.

Me: plug that in.

...few minutes after the routers up

lady: oh my goodness thank you!

Me: your welcome

*end of call*

Hey, she managed to plug the router in without needing an illustrated guide and seventeen hours of coaching, that's pretty goddamned impressive as tech support goes.

[Max White]

To be fair, you can't just expect people to naturally know how this stuff works. Not everybody is tec savvy! Lack of understanding != stupid.
But this lady sounds like she was cooperative and polite, so she seems alright.

[Neonivek]

As well sometimes you forget the small things. Maybe she thought the router was plugged in and had no reason to doubt it wasn't.

[Ameablable]

No you guys seem to be misunderstanding. It wasnt plugged into the wall.

The power cord. Not ethernet. Ethernet was plugged in.

[Max White]

No I think we understand that...

[Neonivek]

Now if she didn't buy the router and just thought her computer would work without internet.

That would be pretty funny.

[Max White]

Ah facebook...
Angsty Emo guy: Death won't accept my challenge, heaven shuns my bad mouth, limbo is full, and soven guard dosent require me, so this is were I stay
Some girl: And wheres that
Guy: Were we are of course
Girl: Earth
Girl: R u now athest

Truly intellectualism!

Now if she didn't buy the router and just thought her computer would work without internet.

That would be pretty funny.

You would not believe how often I see this.

Furthermore, you would not believe the frequency I hear the sentence: "Whaddya mean I have to plug in the desktop? You just said it was wireless!"

Admittingly it is a lot like trying to explain gaming conventions to someone who doesn't play videogames OR to someone who doesn't play that genre.

"Jump on the mushroom it will give you a boost"
"Wait what do you mean it will give me a boost that makes no sense?"
"What do you mean it is a trampoline"
"But it is a mushroom!"
"AHH!"
"AHH!"

I remember trying to explain to my sister why attaching roller skates to the mummy in day of the tentacle makes perfect sense.

[MaximumZero]

day of the tentacle makes perfect sense.

Yeah, except that nothing in that game makes any sense at all.

[FearfulJesuit]

Here's a self-post: apparently, when under the influence of alcohol in a foreign country and asked to talk about my country, my usual bleeding-heart self starts only half-ironically spouting Tea Party talking points and waxing poetic about Ronald Reagan.

[Neonivek]

day of the tentacle makes perfect sense.

Yeah, except that nothing in that game makes any sense at all.

It really makes perfect sense you just have to bend your thinking.

Why does painting the Orange Tree red make George Washington cut it down? because Cherries are red.
