So I go to the local gas station last night to get a quick fill up of fuel.......push all the right buttons and it starts fueling....$1.00....$1.23.....BOOM..it stops......I click the dang pump thingy over and over....nutten........Sooooo I go into the store and say.."I was pumping fuel into my car and it suddenly stopped pumping..is something wrong with the pump?" The gentleman running the store who spoke some VERY difficult to understand form of English said,"What seems to be the problem?".......I repeated myself word for word.....His response, "Is there some kind of problem?.....just squeeze the pump handle".....I handed him $1.23 and drove to another station......

Awwww! Poor Randy!!! Some days it just doesn't pay to get outta bed.

I know what you mean about the customers. I have talked to a few doosies (almost word for word those tech stories I posted). Also, sometimes I have felt more like a psychiatrist or a bartender than a tech specalist over the past years. Maybe I really am both and should put in for a big raise!!! http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
