What a jerk. The least he could have done was nicely explain the company's ordering preference instead of making stupid comments. Does he not WANT to get money for his company? Making people feel weird isn't exactly the way. :P <strong>Vera: most people are computer illiterate here, so they tend agree with these slightly tech savvy guys.</strong> AUGH! What a jerk.

The nerve of them, not even wishing you a good day :suspicious: My only problem is, I have a hard time hearing with my right ear, which is, by habit, the ear I hold the phone up to. So if a person has a heavy accent, I have to have them repeat themselves over and over again. One time, I felt so foolish..I was at my doctor when I was about 13 for strep throat. She was Mandarin/Philipian, so she had a thick accent, and, being sick, I couldn't hear very well. She kept asking me a question, and I replied, "No, my feet don't hurt, my throat hurts, and my ears, not my feet." She looked a bit upset at me, and tapped me on my forehead. "Fever, Fever! Do you have a fever?!" I was super embarrassed. <strong>Vera: ... according to mom I'm still the mean one, when I finally snap. </strong>:rolleyes: >.< I’m sorry, I find this funny XD

I use so many different passwords and end up forgetting lots of them. X( I'm sorry to hear about how your order ended up cancelled. Maybe you can report this to the customer service counter or something? <strong>Vera: nah... too much trouble. I made sure to tell all my colleagues about it. They were suitably disgusted. </strong> XD I do have a problem remembering passwords too. I use so many different passwords and end up forgetting lots of them.

It drives me nuts because they assume that -- because I'm female -- I don't know anything about tech and they can feed me any old crap they want to cover for their own incompetence. I did a computer science degree, you jerks. *shakes fist* <strong>Vera: *eggs Dee on* Fight! Fight!</strong> XD Oh god yes. It drives me nuts because they assume that — because I’m female — I don’t know anything about tech and they can feed me any old crap they want to cover for their own incompetence.

I have had problems with them not being able to understand me due to their being not-so-fluent in English. <strong>Vera: if only... but every tech person here is fluent in Romanian.

Poor Vera :P The guy you talked to sounds rather friendly, at least compared to the ones I've come across with. Usually when i call for tech service is when our home Internet connection is down and my mother starts whining about it. I think the tech guys that work for our internet provider are trained to deal with old ladies that don't know anything about computers. They usually call me "señora" (that's like a Spanish equivalent of Mrs.) and treat me like an old lady, making me feel old and yeah, dumb. Their voice only makes me want to smack them, they talk loud and fast and try to give me instructions on how to open "control panel", on how to restart my computer. They also treat me like I'm just calling because I forgot to turn on my computer before trying to connect to the Internet, or because I forgot how Internet Explorer is launched, or simply because I had nothing better to do than call them for a granny-technician chat. Bleh. <strong>Vera: gotta love Internet support. Regardless of what I tell them I did, they always parrot the same thing "reset the modem and the router". Now if I also add I ipconfig/release -/renew to the list of things I did... they're finished </strong>:P Lol! Poor Vera :P
