A 500 mb laptop.....I don't know what purpose a 500 mb laptop would serve someone in the pentagon, I mean the technology there must be significantly more advanced.
Thanks for these funny little anecdotes, I really find these blogs funny. =D

I just digged through your old ones and these are gold. Must be pretty amusing to live through these situations.

Virginia can be rather rural.

Anywhere can be rural, you just gotta know where to go

Maybe the first person was talking about a powerline adapter? And by "wireless" she meant "without hooking up my computer directly to the router". Who knows though.

no car right now lol and your in like d.c.

Northern Virginia is pretty close to DC. Are you in NOVA?
|
lol I love these blogs, this one has been one of your better ones imo.
|
I love these blogs too
Especially the anecdotes where people brag about how smart they are, yet they really can't tell their ass from their elbow. I mean, I don't expect everyone to be omnscient, but if you're going to claim to know your shit and then not know anything...
5/5, keep 'em coming please

I had a corker this week too. Earlier on in the day, I'd been trying to remove a boxed microwave that was wedged between two shelves for an incredibly arrogant woman in a wheelchair. Little did I know it was pretty much holding up the above shelves and a shit ton of microwaves fell down on me, which I dodged like a bawss. Still, it was a busy Sale day so it was embarrassing.
Anyways, so later on this older couple comes up to me on laptops and drags me over to washing machines. They explain that they need one, but it cannot have green LEDs for superstitious reasons! So I politely started leafing through the manuals, hoping to find one that actually stated what colour LEDs it had. This was fruitless as I expected. So I again politely offered to write down the exact models they were interested in, and I could provide the customer service number for Zanussi and they could ring and find out which models didn't have green lights. So she suddenly goes off on one: 'Well I'M not trying to sell the machine'. At that point I really wanted to scream 'Well neither am fucking I', as if I give two shits whether we sell anything or not. Like I actually want to be there selling shitty mass-produced products to stupid people all day. As if her fucking superstitions should be accounted for by every retail outlet in the world.
So she mumbles to her husband 'we'll go elsewhere I think', and I walked to the staff room to calm down

i live in blacksburg at the moment, 4 hours away from DC. So distance is no excuse!

I don't know how I once did retail. If I went back to working with the public in this sense I don't think I could help myself from saying flat out "fuck off" to every impolite customer or from the pointless incidents listed above from idiot strangers. Superstitious about LEDs... jesus.

Do price etiquettes in the US show untaxed prices?
|
I worked at fedex kinkos for 3 years and I heard some of the craziest stuff. Also people asking if they can copy money in color ink or obviously trying to make fake id's. (copying an id card of someone else, getting it laminated). People asking for legal advice or divorce forms. People wanting to copy an entire copyrighted book, etc etc. People who visit retail stores like kinkos or best buy tend to be much more uneducated in technology.

All prices listed are before sales tax unless otherwise specified since all non food items are subject to sales tax (cooked food items are also taxed).
|
Pretty sure it has to do with the fact that it costs more to print shit like 20 different times to account for all the differing state taxes, than to let the retailers determine how much the tax is.

What's a 500 megabyte laptop? O.o
And someone needs to look up what a router does, and what ISP's do.
