I didn't want to know...

What a start to a morning. So this elderly guy comes in to the store (couldn't be younger than about 55) and needs some help with his Treo. He wants to know if he can put his photos on his Treo in file folders so when he talks to his priest he can hide some photos. I kind of give him the face and then he shows me what he means. His phone is filled with tons of porn...and not just images, videos too. I just didn't need to know about what he was trying to hide at all. He tried to go into detail about what he wanted while showing me pictures of his "tennis instructor". I just answer his question and try to get him out of there as soon as possible....but no! He comes back and asks more stuff and shows me more pictures. Finally, after the third time back, I get him to leave peacefully. I have a feeling today is going to be interesting.

THAT, was definitely a RTFM issue....yikes

[Jester]

RTFM?

[digilight]

RTFM?

Read The F**king Manual

RTFM?

RTFM = Read the f****** manual.

ETA:

It's an ID-10-T error, and clearly PEBKAC. The user better RTFM before the system is FUBAR'd and then he'll reall be SOL.

Why does his priest have a view of his cell phone/PDA??? Something's fishy here. Sounds like he might get his jollies showing his "etchings" to folks like you.

When you're my age (53) being over 55 doesn't seem "elderly". Ya whippersnapper ya.

Well, he may have other pictures, family, pilgrimages and such, he want to show to the priest and he is just afraid something else may pop up .
And yes, you youngsters will be surprised, I feel as if I were the same as thirty years ago. I don't feel elderly, I'm just me and expect to be the same in the next fifty years too .

I simply can't imagine my day getting a better start than having some random person coming up to me and showing me part of their porn collection.

Something similar happened here the other day. A kid and his mom walked into the store. He was maybe 14, and was having problems with his phone not getting signal.

CM: Clueless mom
PK: Perverted kid
Me: The coolest cellular diva in Kansas

CM: PK's phone is just not getting signal. I don't understand why, all his little friends' phones are fine, and they all have [our carrier] too.
Me: Well, let me just take a look at it and see what I can do. *reaching out for phone*
PK: *seems reluctant to relinquish phone, presses buttons feverishly*
Me: I have to look at it to be able to fix it, bro.
PK: *hunted look*Umm...ok *hands me the phone, looks at me pleadingly*
Me: *flips open the phone to see a wallpaper pic of a very naked, very uninhibited young woman displaying some parts that don't often see the sun. Gives PK a raised eyebrow*
PK: *Continues looking at me pleadingly*
Me: Um, the first thing I'll try is a network selection. *that fixes the problem*
CM: Can you show me how to fix this in case it happens again?
Me: Ok, let me just do a master reset, then I can show you guys how to fix this if it happens again. *resets settings so bland, carrier provided wallpaper shows, and proceeds to show CM how to reset network*
PK: *Looks relieved*Thank you soooo much.


Depending on how you look at it, I guess I did my good deed for the day. If nothing else, I prevented horrible raging chaos in my store. I'll settle for that.
