Halloween starts early.

This afternoon is definitely warming up for Halloween! 1: Guess who? Customer: "I had a notification from SAGE for an upgrade but they also said some software patch had to be put on. Can you tell me if it's been done?" Me: "By whom? Us or Sage" Customer:  "I don't know I've been off for two days." What? 2: I can't open it. Customer:  "I'm trying to do a scan and it says cannot open scanner." Me: "But you only had a manufacturer engineer out yesterday and they was working fine?" Customer:  "I know." Me: "Silly question, the scanner is on I take it?" Customer:  "Oops" I give up. 3: Ghost in the machine. Customer:  "Is Dave there?" Me: "No, he was with you?" Customer:  "Oh, they left a while ago. I need to know if they sent an email while they was here. XYZ says I sent an email cancelling some payments but I wasn't in at 1pm?" Me: ...

Little man.

Me: "Your misses is fecking gorgeous, feck knows what she sees in you?" Engineer: "I know, especially when I have such a small penis?" ROTFLMAO

Me: "I heard what you did, you wanna look on the Internet after getting me to spend my valuable time getting you the specs aye?" [Sounds of uproarious laughter] Customer:  "Oh well, you've gotta play the game." Me: "Not with me my son, I'm an Essex boy!" [More laughter] Customer:  "Don't I know it!" Me: "So here's the deal. When you buy it off the Internet rather than you thinking you're awesome coz you saved a few quid, when it goes wrong I'm gonna come round your place, sit outside your window with me ipod on laughing and pointing at your broken kit" [More laughter] Me: "How can I help you?"
