Tech support: Pick up your keyboard and walk 10 paces back.
Customer: OK
Tech support: Did the keyboard come with you?

===============
A woman customer called the Canon help

I wouldn't be. I work in an internet shop and you wouldn't believe some of the questions we get asked.

Example: "I can't log into Messenger. I can't remember my password.. Do you know it?"

Sure I do lady ... sure!!

Some poeple would frown upon charging lots of money like that. However, I have no problem exploiting people's stupidity!
