He’ll never buy from you, Rory.

You need a new personality.

It’s broken!

Was out shopping with my wife, she was looking for a bra, she asked me to look for a specific size, found one but it stated ‘wireless’ on the package, WHY? I think the internet of things is going too far….

♫♪

Put out your tongue

Put your hand in the air

Make a V-sign

You just don’t care

Now you feel free

You gotta lose control

All God’s children

Got a little bit of soul

You don’t have to think

You don’t have to move a muscle

To do the brow beating

Heavy leather

Resurrection shuffle

Should’ve had him do the Macarena.

See if your paper, pen, envelope and a postage stamp still work.

What’s so urgent?

Back in the early 2000’s my son worked as a CSR for a cell company. And of course, obvious idiots would call in with non-existent problems. His solution was for them to remove the battery while talking to him. Problem solved.

And back in the 80’s I worked as a CSR for a long distance phone company (dark ages indeed). You needed an actual touch tone phone to make our calling card work, and many folks only had a push button phone that was really a dial phone in disguise. After going round-n-round with these callers, many of us found out that by having the customer press # on their phone would disconnect the call. Hmmmm

Oh my!! No insurance and your warranty juuuuuust expired!

I learned a long time ago for an Android or tablet, if you hold the power button at the same time as touching the screen for 10 seconds it will restart. I hope that method still works if needed.
