Now where's this end go?

Customer: "Can you come and fit another screen please?"
Me: "When you say 'another' is that an additional screen or a replacement?"
Customer: "It's an additional one, I just bought a 22" Monitor to match this one."
Me: "Can your graphics card support dual display?"
Customer: "Ooh I don't know I just thought you could plug another one in?"

Just stick it to the back of the PC with bluetak then remind them that this particular type of monitor only works telepathically, which will be fine providing you have an average intelligence or above.

I'm sure they have average or above intelligence...

Customer: "Hi Pete can you tell me, are you doing our backups?" Me: "In what sense?" Customer: "Do you do them do you back our server up?" Me: "I suspect not but surly Simon in Yorkshire can answer that?" Customer: "He says he backs up his but not ours." Me: "Before they bought you out, when was that? Two years ago? Did you used to put tapes in?" Customer: "Yes but we stopped when they bought us." Me: "Why?" Customer: "We just assumed they'd sort it out, I have no idea where that tapes are by the way" Me: "So you've not had a backup for two years then?" Customer: "Suppose not." Oh dear looks like you'll need a new backup solution how about a snapshot automated with a cron job?

Customer: "I can't open an attachment on an email" Me: "I thought you had winzip installed?"

Customer: "Yes but the word icon inside is not opening" Me: "Can you right click it please, what's it say in the property's?" Customer: "shortcut to O:/Customers/quotes/blahblah" Me: "They've sent you the shortcut not the file ask them to send the document" So we have two Muppets, the one who sent the shortcut and the recipient who doesn't know what a shortcut is.
