Or another favourite - "my boss is getting this problem with your product, can you have a look?"
"Of course, no problem - can I dial into their PC?"
"Not just now, they're with someone"
Which begs the question - roughly what made you think now would be a good time to call?

People most often ask 'What's it like to shove your hand up a cows arse?'

My reply of 'Warm' seems to flummox most of them.

My email to them
"Could you please forward the license file to myself."
The reply, via email:

"No, we can't, only you can send something to yourself".

"Not a problem, but give me a fighting chance and tell me the error, hey?"

"Oh, I just pressed Ok to get rid of it, I don't understand all that technical rubbish."

Well, a) you don't have to understand it, that's what they pay me for, you just have to read it; you can [i]read[/i], can't you? And, b), thanks for calling my work 'nonsense' (or far worse).

roughly what made you think now would be a good time to call?

*Logs a call*

*Leaves for lunch*

- at least one person a week.

...a phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range ?

I nearly always answer - Hey, pal, just what you see! Unless it's a woman, then it's generally [i]lady[/i] in place of [i]pal[/i].

You always get 'em, though...
