Night of ONE THOUSAND Maniacs!

[captain_slinky]

Well okay, maybe just three. But I've had three very interesting calls tonight!

#1: Guy who had made his very own "Computer Network" at home using Cat5 and USB cables spliced with regular phone cords and a LOT of duct tape. 'Cuz the RJ5 connector was just to big to fit in to most of the modem ports on his computers. And he wanted to know why it wasn't working, and insisted that it was Comcast's fault.

#2: Lady wanted to know if we could check and see if anyone had broken in to her home and installed spy cameras that use the internet. Each time I said No she would come up with a different qualifier to try and get me to say yes. "How about if I turn off my computer? Could you tell then? Or what if I turn off all my lights and look at the cable modem... could you do it then?"

#3: Another lady was havi9ng a completely different conversation than what I was having. She had no internet; I had to send out a technician. "I can have someone out there between Noon and 4 tomorrow... would anyone be home, or shall we look at other options?" She replied with "Oh, it'll be fixed in just a few hours? That's wonderfull! Thank you very much! Bye!"

There is that one special IVR selection, "If you're a crazy person and have an irrational request, or you're just illiterate and don't understand what all those buttons on your keyboard mean, press 8 to speak to Brian NOW."
