Default "it must be the internet..."

boy do i hate hearing that

me: i'm calling back about your report in regards to the internet not working
him: it keeps shutting down. its must be the internet.
me: could you elaborate? what exactly is shutting down? your browser?
him: it just goes off when i'm doing something
me: you mean the pages stop loading?
him: even if im in email it just shuts off and goes to gateway and comes back
me: you mean your computer is actually turning off and back on?
him: yes, thats what i said
me: that's definitely not the internet. you need to see a pc tech.
him: oh...okay. thanks.
me: good luck!

:chuckles:

yesterday my statistical method's professor called..

him: when im done surfing the internet, firefox just shuts off.
me: like it closes?
him: it shuts off when im done.
me: so you are using firefox and then it just closes?
me thinking to myself: it knows when he's done? thats kind of cool.

so i finally vnc and get on his computer, he didnt understand the concept of the back button and when he logged out of something and pressed back, it wont log him back in, it gives him an error. i dont know how he got "it shuts off" out of it, but oh well.

he's also straight from africa and has a thick accent which is very hard to understand. and he had probably 500 favorites in firefox.

then my studio production professor calls..

him: my itunes looks different, could this be because the server was down yesterday?
me: i dont think so, whats wrong with it?
him: all i see is a play button, pause and stop and the radio station i listen to.
me: can you press the little green button?
him: oh, that made it bigger, thanks.

:doh:
