lol@computer technician scam

I recently got a call from people with strong Indian accents going, ahh, your computer is going to crash unless you let us into it right now : O. They tried to prove it with the event viewer (you know how many computers have the *daily* errors). The minute they tried to do that with Event Viewer, I pegged them as scammers or total idiots ;D. They kept calling me back over and over again. I told them that I'm virtually a certified technician, and then they said that they were computer masters.

During the conversation I implied that they were scammers and that there was absolutely nothing that they could do to make me trust them. They delivered the ultimatum: "Either get help from us or your computer will crash" and I replied, "Then I guess it's going to crash"

: D

Any other fun stories?

I was purchasing something online via paypal from a site. (I will not specify what site and other things)

The first time, they delivered what I purchased fine.

The second time, they had to call me twice, from my cell phone and my house phone. They then delivered what I purchased.

Third time, they asked for a picture of my credit card, after I purchased the object. I immediately reported it to paypal and received a refund, while the site tried convincing me that they wouldn't steal my credit card.

There was this time, I am having my English midterm exam until I felt blowing some brownies out in the wilds because I drank chocolate milk mixed with milo energy drink and then blended it with evaporated milk and then added a whole milk to make myself a horny and energetic man when it comes to exams.

the exam would end at 1:00 - 2:00 but I couldn't handle it anymore, so I lost control of myself and let my adrenaline go and finished it within 5 mins, my prof was curious so she wants me to stand up and explain, but I could not hold it any longer until I exploded yoh! shit went stuck in my briefs! so I just said "Ma'am! goodbye!" and ran outside the school campus with a really, really wet shit now stuck in my outer pants and it smelled like hell! it was horrible! I can't even commute because of that awful stench coming inside me so I used a taxi cab straight home, even the driver got sick at me. and got pissed and vomit along the way. so next time, I would never! ever drink a 7hr chocolate drug just for an exam. (:)

Bahahahaha!! lmao that story just made my day :p i could not imagine if that would happen to me... lol :grin:
 
I was looking for a keyboard, so I went to a shop (which after this incident, I never went back, and I swore I'll never go back unless they have a suggestion box)

Then I saw a nice looking keyboard, I asked the saleslady if it has a usb connector, then she said none, it only has wireless connector via bluetooth... Then I asked if I could take a look, then I saw it has a usb cord, I asked her again if it has a usb connector, but she keeps telling me it has none, when in-fact the box says it has, and I already saw that it has...

Also, the service on that shop is too slow, especially when they have a lot of customers (you think its reasonable?), then I must say, there were about 3 more salesperson which were just chatting...

Well, few years ago (at that time I didn't know anything about computer hardware) I went to shop with my dad to buy a new PC, we said to the salesman that we need a gaming computer. So he gave us rusty Packard Bell machine with shit case, china-bomb PSU and old GPU. Few months ago I sold it for 200 euros (very good deal (for me)), and gonna buy new PC this week, I'm so excited :grin:
