Computer Trouble
I come home from playing b-ball. It's freezing outside. I'm wearing a
t-shirt under my jacket and tearaway pants. I'm about to enter my building
when my neighbour comes up to me and starts telling me about her computer
problems. She's wearing a big winter jacket and earmuffs. Meanwhile, I'm
freezing my butt off.
| Lady: |
"I bought a computer on HSN (Home
Shopping Network), and it doesn't work. I was on the phone with customer
support for 6 hours yesterday. I wanted to cry. It's so frustrating.
I even went out and bought a whole bunch of books for Dummies."
|
| Dan: |
"Oh, I see...." |
| Lady: |
"I wanted to come over and knock on
your door so you could come over to my place and help me. But, I didn't
want to bother you." |
| Dan: |
(Good.) |
| Lady: |
"I'm so frustrated." |
| Dan: |
"You should return the computer." |
| Lady: |
"I wanted to try to fix it first.
The customer support guy told me to reinstall some drivers and it
deleted everything on my harddrive. So, I lost all my pictures. I
hate computers. My brother told me to knock on your door so you could
come over and help me." |
| Dan: |
(Your brother is a dumbass. I don't want
to go to your apartment. I don't even know you.) |
| Lady: |
"I'm going to try to return the computer.
I'm going to go buy another one from Dell or maybe Best Buy. What
do you think?" |
| Dan: |
"Well, Dell has a really good customer
service policy. That seems like what you need." |
| Lady: |
"What kind of computer do you recommend?" |
| Dan: |
(Go buy a Cyrix) "Uh....go get a Dell." |
| Lady: |
"Maybe I can fix the computer in my
apartment. I really wanted to knock on your door so you could come
help me." |
| Dan: |
(Why does she keep saying that over and
over? Maybe if I keep quiet she'll stop.) |
| Dan: |
"Well, I don't really have much experience
troubleshooting PCs. That's not my job." |
| Lady: |
"Yeah, but you know more than me.
I wanted you to come over and help me with my computer." |
| Dan: |
(Man, she doesn't give up) "Well,
you can knock on my door. I don't know how much help I'll be...." |
| Lady: |
"Great!!! If I need help, I'll knock
on your door. Ok, I'll let you get inside. You're probably freezing
in your t-shirt." |
| Dan: |
"Ok, bye" |
Damn, I don't want to go over to her apartment. I don't even know this
lady. She might kill me. Frig. This is the woman who owns that dog that
craps on my patio.
I'm not going to answer my door when she starts knocking. And if she
catches me outside, I'll say that I have to wash my hair. Haha.
