I just answered a frantic phone call from a friend a moment ago I had to share. I'm not letting him live this one down for a while.
Him: Nash! You gotta help me! Pleasey weasy?
Me: Well, all right. What is it?
Him: I bought this wireless mouse a couple days ago and it just doesn't work. You're a geeky girl, can you fix it?
Me: I'm flattered. All right, you'll have to do everything I tell you to do, ok?
Him: Anything, I just want to get this to work, or I'm returning it.
Me: Okay. Have you tried any of the other USB ports to see if it was just that one port?
Him: *tries the other ports* Nothing. That didn't work.
Me: Okay....did it come with an installation CD?
Him: A what now?
Me: A CD to install the drivers with, did it come with one?
Him: Uh uh.
Me: Did you try the batteries? Maybe you put some dead ones in by mistake.
Him: *dead silence*
Me: N? Still there?
Him: Batteries?
Me: ...You....did put batteries in it, right?
Him: You're kidding me. Hang on. *odd clicking noises* Shit. Hang on. *more silence, then more odd clicking noises. Mouse starts clicking*Fffffff....
Me: That was it, wasn't it?
Him: ........Yeah. That was it.
Me: Works now?
Him: *sigh* yeah, it does.
Me: *trying not to laugh*
Him: Sonova.....*click*
Poor kid. What kills me is this is the guy that helped me clean my laptop of a vicious virus and is pretty tech savvy, and has taught me everything I know, but he was foiled by a mouse.
