Do you have powers?

[Dave1982]

Had a guy call in yesterday asking me that. I'm still not entirely sure what happened on this call.

SC: Do you have powers?

Me: I'm sorry, what?

SC: POWERS. Computer powers.

Me: Powers? (Thinking: Does he mean Towers, or is he asking about some magazine I've never heard of?)

SC: Yes. Powers.

Me: What's that?

SC: *click*

OK, you, too. You had no accent, and I am certain you said Powers, not Towers. I even emphasized the P to make sure. Either way, I don't want you as a customer. You're either stupid, sucky, or both, and I don't have time to deal with either. You fail. Goodbye.

And I can assure you that if I DID have powers, I'd use them to make sure you suffer greatly.

Maybe he meant a power strip or power supply?

[Brentos]

maybe he needs to figure out what he's looking for before he bothers people. That's like going to the McDonald's drive thru and asking if they have hamburgers....

[Sylvia727]

Uh, I kind of did that once. We were going through a Burger King, when I normally go to McDonald's, and I asked the driver what kind of burgers they had. She rolled down the window and asked "What kind of burgers do you sell?" I immediately chose a plain cheeseburger rather than force the cashier to answer that sucky question.

[Chazzie]

C'mon, it was a yes or no question. No wonder he got so frustrated.

"Ah, yes... the Power! I can fly!"

SC:"Do you have Powers?"
ME: Apperently not to read mind so you are going to have to tell me what you need.

[Marxfan]

"Yes, I got super powers just today! Which reminds me... I quit! Have a nice day!"

[Kara]

SC: Do you have powers?

The correct response is,

"By the power of Grayskull, I HAVE THE POOOOOWEEEEER!"

[Midnight12]

The correct response is,

"By the power of Grayskull, I HAVE THE POOOOOWEEEEER!"

hahaha. I'll have to write that down and use it again

[Broomjockey]

Whadda you mean you don't have any powers? SIDEKICK!

[karma_gypsy]

But you didn't answer the question ...

Do you have any computer powers?

Like you have the power to code 30 lines of HTML in a single glance?
You have the power to unite all geeks?
The ability to infect the whole internet in one swift motion?

[Flood]

I can send e-mails with my mind!

Hell, I'm 30 feet away from any working computer as I post this very message!

[theredbaron47]

I wish you did.

Then we could combine our powers:

"...by your powers and mine, I AM CAPTAIN PLANET!"

or maybe it's like going to the McDonald's drive thru and asking if they have pamburgers
