How Evil Owl Would Love to Respond to his Customers

I HATE it when the phone isn't near the computer. I wasn't in the best mood when I wrote this.

Caller - I need help in Microsoft Word

Me - Ok, where are you now

Caller - In the living room

Me - No Einstein, where are you in the computer

Caller - The computer?? It's in the Den.... Why??

Me - Oh no - don't tell me - the phone doesn't reach, right??

Caller - No, it doesn't. Is that a problem

Me - Well, yea, it is. You're probably going to shout my instructions to Bettie Lou in the other room

Caller - how did you know her name was Bettie Lou???

Me - it's a gift. Now, I'm assuming, impossible as this may seem, that Bettie Lou is dumber than you

Caller - Well, kinda.... we're simple people.

Me - super - dumb and dumber. Listen, this is 1998 - has the concept of a cordless phone somehow passed you by?? Cause I'll tell ya, I refuse to work this way. I quite doing relay races in the seventh grade. Lemme ask you, did you make it to seventh grade??

Feel my wrath, Mel

Owl - Tech Support - can I help you?

Caller - hey there - I've got my friend MEL on the line with us. He's a computer expert. He'll tell you what's wrong - you there, Mel??

Owl - Wait, hang on a sec. I have a few questions. So, Mel, are you that friend everyone has who's a "computer genious".

Mel - ummmm, yeah.....I suppose.

Owl - But in reality, you know very little, right?

Mel - ummm, uh

Owl - And you make everything you touch worse, correct

Mel - well, once I fixed the toaster, but that was..

Owl - and I can see how that qualifies you to work on computers. Mel, why do you do this??? Do you think it will make you more attractive to women..

Mel - well, I always wanted to be a computer guy - you guys are so cool - wait... "RAM, MOTHERBOARD, HARD DRIVE" see - I can do it.....

Owl - Mel, I think you should leave the computer stuff to me, and stick to selling shoes, ok?

Mel - How did you know I sold shoes???

I've always wanted to do this

Caller: (after a long tirade with me) "You're not very helpful - let me speak to your manager"

Me: "Certainly, hold on.... (deepens voice) Manager speaking, can I help you??"

Caller: "Yes, your tech was very rude to me"

Me (manager): I'm sorry about that sir, but it's because you're an asshole"

Caller: "what??"

Me (manager): "Yes, I heard the whole conversation. I'm surprised my tech didn't call you the dick you are."

Caller:"Are you saying I'm difficult?"

Me (manager): No, I'm saying you're a complete asshole - Please say you're sorry to the nice tech"

Caller: (meekly) ok....
