i found these strangely funny:

> Customer: “Excuse me can I use this disk? It has a hole in it.”

😛

> My Dad: “Hello. I’ve got a problem with the computer.”  
> Me: “What’s up?”  
> My Dad: “Well, I did my document, and it looks fine on the screen. I printed it too. And I saved it.”  
> Me: “Great! You’re getting the hang of the thing.”  
> My Dad: “Yes, I am. I have just one problem.”  
> Me: “Ok, what is it?”  
> My Dad: “Well, I saved the file…”  
> Me: “Yes?”  
> My Dad: “How do I rewind the disk?”

## this is a real one from my job:

\*\*\*\*\*\* Computer Analyst—

-Um Yes, my computer won’t turn on.

Can you be more specific?

-Well I go to press power and nothing happens. I don’t get it, it was working fine a little bit ago.

Is there anything else in your office that doesn’t appear to turn on?

-Yes, my radio won’t come on.

Anything else?

-Not that I can see, it is kind of dark in here.

Have you experienced a power outage?

-Yes a few minutes ago!

Did your computer go out about the same time that the lights did?

-Yes.

* * *

This was a real call. Apparently computers really do run by inserting little hamsters on wheels that run really fast to generate power. There had just been a bad storm, and I guess it didn’t click with this person.
