This just happened.

We're pushing out a software update, users get a notification pop up complete with our logo saying what is going to happen and that they can postpone it for an hour.

We get calls asking what to do.

So I take a screen print of the message and send out an email saying users will get this pop up, just click yes, and include the screen print.

I get a call to go and see a user.

She's got my email open and is trying to click yes on the screen print!

Yesterday at work, I pulled out my new OG Galaxy Note, and the idiots clustered around me, all amazed at the new iPhone. I tried to explain that it wasn't an iPhone at all, but because it was white and glossy it HAD to be the new iPhone. One of them way even holding the iPhone 4S, and another had the blue OG Note. I finally made her take her cover off and and showed them it was the same phone, that didn't help either. I finally walked away, but as I did I heard the IPhone girl say," well mine is still better than her's because it's an Apple and they are the most expensive."

F: My family has 5 lines and we pay $250/year for unlimited everything

M: that's $50/person/year which is less than $5/month for unlimited everything. If that were true everyone would ditch their carrier for sprint

F: no. Imagine if your house didn't pick up sprint service. Would you still use sprint? That's why people stick to their carriers

M: yes if it was $5/month for unlimited everything. Also that's definitely not your phone bill

He called me about a year ago that his computer had died. There was this black screen with a moving flag-thing in it. (his words.). Turns out to be... yea, you guessed it: The screensaver.

Once, his pc wouldn't boot. So I hook his drive up to my pc to see what was wrong. (It kept saying "Windows not found.") The whole C:\Windows folder was just gone. He'd deleted it, because it 'wasn't his'.... So when I installed Windows again, made sure to lock him way out.

Another gold one. He came over, in panic, that he had a virus on his computer. His screen had turned blue. So, I assumed, naturally, a BSOD.

Nothing of the sorts. I'd reinstalled his pc after the deleted folder case. And thus the wallpaper was different. *sigh*

Another time he called to say there was a virus on his computer. The Recycle Bin icon had moved.

Kind of a technical question.

A guy I know wanted me to help him pair his new HTC with his car stereo in his Challenger that he bought a few months ago. He switched from an iphone and is totally clueless.

So I ask him which stereo he has in his Challenger. He says, "I don't know. It's a Siri..... Sari.....Sori....something like that!"

Well I looked at it. He was referring to the fact that he got Sirius satellite on it. So it must be a Siri something. :confused: :laugh:

This is the bad part. He reduced the stereo down to a satellite service and couldn't even pronounce it.

This stereo is the same unit I have in my Wrangler. It is a $1,200 option from the factory. It is a 6 speaker + 1 sub stereo system. It has a 7" touch screen Nav unit built in. It has a DVD drive capable of video playback. It has voice activated bluetooth integration. It has iPod integration. AND it has a hard disk in so you can rip CD's straight to the hard drive. Oh, and it gets Sirius radio. :p

"It's a Siri..... Sari.....Sori....something like that!" Dumbass!!
