[RESOLVED] Things you wish you could get away with...

[jaeger]

Just all those things your boss/society/the law won't let you get away with. Me personally:

1. Slapping around customers I think are too stupid for the good of society.

2. Putting huge DUMBASS stickers on the computers of those I deem worthy.

3. Mandatory IQ and literacy test before you can buy a computer.

4. The right to be just as neanderthal as the customer. (sometimes ya think they'd just start behaving if they realized what they looked lik)

1) Not paying property, sales and income tax.

Yep...in order to be "tough on crime" like a good conservative, police may legally stop and question anyone. And if they find reason to frisk you, and discover you have less than $2 in your pocket, you get busted for vagrancy (usually a night or two in jail and a fine...which, if you have less that $2 you can't pay, so a few more nights in the clink).

It has always been illegal to be broke aka "vagrancy" laws which established a $20 dollar / proof of permanent address ie - ID card else you is a vagrant and need to be locked up so'z the descent law abidin' peoples of theze great states ain't forced to step 'roun' ya on their wayz to sumtin important. (spit at this point and grab crotch in overly manly redneck posing)

New York law is just refreshing in peoples mind that they can enforce it.

Also - the Emergency Wars Impowerment act (hope I'm saying/spelling that right) makes stockpiling illegal (more than 2 weeks of food in your possession at any one time.) Tons of stupid laws in this country - just a matter of them being enforced.

2) They'll call me about the strange noises and I'll tell them to remove the cover and check a fan (only to meet a pissed-off, starving rat).

After that, when I discover it is a user error, I'd like to slap 'em on the back of the head and say "WTF were you thinking," and promptly seize their PC. If I'm feeling nice, I'll whip out the ruler and whack 'em on the knuckles a few times, and maybe, just maybe give them their PC back and charge them $200/hr for therapy.

*whew* Good thing they kept this ultra dangerous criminal off the streets, and it only cost taxpayers a few hundred, maybe thousand dollars and wasted the time of police officers who likely drove past muggings or rapes in the buildings surrounding where they picked you up.

These laws are only in place so they can violate other rights without being unconstitutional (eg: arresting peaceful protesters as "vagrants", or because they "gathered in public without a lisence"). Eek, get rid of the dumb laws, and use the leftover taxmoney for social reform, so we won't HAVE so many vagrants!

Get the damn Old Fogies Off my Back, I’m tired of 80yr old people staring at me /w a “Should that youngster (17) be touching those computers” face. Old people one of the worst, they always start off with this line, “Ohh I’d love to pick your brains, and learn what you know”

23yr old New York yuppies that stumble in and act like they know every damn thing, one thing they all have in common is they never travel alone, they always come /w a friend that knows less then them.

People that walk up to me and start talking “Tough day? I know what its like, Yeah I’m thinking of getting my A+ Cert, Yeah I know I’m going to be a tech, what books should I read?” *** I never said one word, yet the conversation kept going ***

Why don’t people understand, I don’t give a damn about their trivial problems, I can’t put pictures of my cat on my desktop why? “Because you don’t have a digital camera/scanner to input the pictures,” you mean it doesn’t happen automatically?

I love talking to Boss’s of other computer shops, its always clear that they don’t know WTF their talking about, much less what they even sell. I’m just grateful I have a boss that understands computers.

I wish I had the courage to tell the customers, well your hard drive is bad, sorry can’t do anything about it, you should have backed up all your data. Rather I do a 20hr Overnight scan to try and fix/recover their information. **Shrug** I had one person crying on my bench because he lost all his info and another tell me he was going to sue me and the company I work for because of his data loss? My response, it’s a Compaq /w a 5.4” Quantum HD, and you paid $500 for the system, what are you complaining about.

I wish that I could just have a simple system where by, customer comes in, clearly fills out a sheet /w their contact info, and a detailed description of the problem, then leaves, waits for us to call back in 1-2days, picks up their computer, pays for it, and leaves.
---
Instead I get
Customer comes in, walks over to me, asks me a bunch of questions unrelated to the problem /w their computer. After a wasted 20min fills out a sheet /w their contact info, with the description of, “Its Broken”, then when asked to further elaborate, “The lights don’t go on”, then leaves, 20min l8r gets home and calls, “Is my computer done yet?”, What’s the Invoice #?, “2233”, forcing us to look up an invoice in a pile of 100 invoices, then only to hear the response, “yeah I know I brought it in 20min ago, but I want to know if it was looked at?” This continues on the hour every hour.. I fix the computer, 25min l8r I get the phone call, is it done yet? “yes it is”, are you sure I’ve been calling for the past 5hrs. They come in pick up the computer and then proceed to ask me what was wrong, when they have no idea WTF im talking about even when I try and elaborate further. Then they always interrupt me saying, okay stop hold on, does it work now, “yes”, that’s all I wanted to know (thinking to myself, then why did you ask)

--Almost Forgot--
The worst are people that bring their computer in, change their address & phone number, then call back 1-3years later saying yeah I left a computer their a while back, no one called or said anything and was wondering if its been looked at?

We have 8 computers that none of the owners have picked up, we don't know what to do /w them, if we throw them out then if the customer asks for them what do we say, "we threw out your computer?"
No Shows are the worst because their computer takes up valuable space that could be better used elsewhere, we should charge them for rental of space in their leave of absence.

Did said mayor (Buddy Cianci) also get convicted and because he was a felon, not be able to run for mayor for 7 years and then, when he could, he gets reelected again by a bunch of old farts? Are your city officials being investigated ,indicted and even convicted for giving tax breaks for bribes? I didn't think so. So come to RI, enjoy the corruption and have a Del's lemonade. So NYAAAAAH !!! http://forums.windrivers.com/cgi-bin/forum/smile.gif


I live near Washington, DC, so, um, yeah they do get convicted and serve jail time and then get re-elected by a landslide.
