Best reason someone’s given you to fix there PC fast?

**Web Master** · April 26th, 2001, 11:15 AM

I was wondering if everyone gets people to give elaborate stories so there PC gets repaired quicker.

Example: I had a lady come in a week ago, that said her Husband has all his business records on the machine, she has a 180 Page thesis on the machine thats due in 2 days, her daughter has a report due the next day and they say they need it yesterday. So I buy the story and rush my *** off to get it done that day, call them and tell them it's ready and it sits in the shop for 6 days.

This happens all the time to me.

Believe it or not, I have had one customer ask me to fix his machine that day because one of his passwords for an 'adult' site runs out at midnight and there is still a load of stuff he wants to download!!! Seriously!!!!! I had to laugh when he told me this. My boss answered him with the response that if he promised to bring him in some of the stuff, it would be done!!!!! Best thing was the boss had already got the stuff that the customer bought him in

I get this a lot. Users saying they need it yesterday because of lost productivity and such. When I ge the PC back to them, they have a replacement already and tell me it was never 'urgent'
Then, i don't deal with the end user, its the company techs i talk to. always pushing buttons.

"Because I am a hot chick with enormous breasts."

Good enough reason for me!

If someone like that actually appeared saying that, I'd offer for her to hang around while I work on it. Course, I might mess it up more, cuz I would be sooooo distracted. LOL

Our answer is the $25 express fee. Warranty or not. If you want it rushed, pay up! It's either that or I go and get my violin. I've heard it all before. Heheheh.
