  • Stop freaking out!

    This guy tripped me out...

    Customer: I don’t know what I’m doing. Oops! I did something wrong!
    Me: Sir?
    Customer: I turned the box off!
    Me: Um, turn it back on.
    Customer: I don’t know what’s going on. What am I doing?

    Homeboy was freaking out because he accidentally turned his box off. Big deal. Turn it back on. This is not rocket science.

      Maybe his box is his world and when he turned the box off he was afraid he hurt the people who live inside there who are his friends?

      Either way maybe he should have shared what he was smoking.

        Depends on who you ask. This guy might think recording devices are magic.

          Nah, to this guy electricity is magic. Recording devices are the work of the devil, and cameras steal your soul.

            Maybe turning off his box prevented him from stepping outside of it!

              He probably wasn't smoking, I think it was injectables.

                I'll keep that in mind next time he calls. Should I bring up the fact that hot water is made by generating heat using electricity?? Cold showers from now on for that guy!!!

                    You ever ask a rocket scientist about his work? He'll say, "It's not brain surgery."

                    Maybe the customer was just freaking out because his porn stopped working, and this was going to be a, well... emergency service call.

                        That sounds like a more likely scenario IMO.

                        But then, I'm the same way w/my cable. If I have no cable, I have NO internet (and that's the bigger concern of the two for me.)

                          Yup, I'm more concerned if my computer service isn't working. I don't watch as much television. Still, if you just TURNED IT OFF, then turn it back on. That was his only issue.
