This is what I do when I'm bored

[ApeXX]

Haven't you always wanted to screw around with those "all too serious" tech support guys? Yeah, well try it sometime. It's quite fun...


Support: Thank you for contacting WireNine Support. How may I help you today?
Parker: Well see I'm kind of bored and I'm not sure what to do.
Parker: Do you have any suggestions?
Support: Are you a customer?
Parker: I currently own a shared hosting account, yes.
Support: Are you having an issue with your account?
Parker: Well it depends... See my account isn't being very entertaining.
Support: What is your domain?
Parker: Why are you threatening me?
Parker: I come here as an honest customer, and you start making accusations.
Support: I am sorry but I did not make any accusations.
Parker: What is your name sir or madam, so that I may contact your management?
Support: I asked for your domain name so I can pull up your account information and assist you with any issues you might have with your account.
Support: Could I please have your domain name? I am unable to find your account in our system.
Parker: What is your name, sir or madam? I refuse to let you sit here and patronize me.
Support: Thank you for visiting WireNine.com, have a great day!

Edit: Yeah some people really need to sit back and relax a little. I didn't think people would take this so seriously... It's not like I do this all day long.

That's kinda rude but it sounds awesome lol

 

[Dan]

That's not that funny... (the conversation)

It's not like I've ever messed with support before. :X

 

[mis_chiff]

and sadly for those that really need the help, they can't reach support cause he's busy with Apexx

 

[Mr. Websites]

I'm not too sure how wasting their time is humorous, either.

 

[ApeXX]

See, I would find it rude if I wasn't paying $15 a month for their service.

I'm paying for the right to "test" the patience of the technical support.

 

[deleted984054565403]

I've been on the other side of that line before, and I can assure you that the support person doesn't see it as "cute" or funny.

Hmmmm.

Idle hands are ... the Devil's workshop, IMHO.

:hehe:

I have done support before, and I have received several users doing things like this, not funny at all...

It is a bit funny when you actually read it, but a bit cruel.

What I do when I am bored, or at least what I have been doing is a bit more constructive...

Sad

I am a psychologist. I rarely, however, give personal or professional opinions on individuals' behavior, here in NamePros. This is not the place for that, and I frankly have enough to deal with on the job without bringing my job to NamePros. However, this was something I couldn't ignore. Take this as a personal opinion (I am not saying the below comments as a shrink, but rather as a human being), and do with it as you may (like it or leave it).

ApeXX,

You're now 16 (assuming your NP profile has the right birthdate). Sixteen, while not an adult, is not a child anymore, either. You are "playing" with adults, in a "game" most of them do not define as a "game", but would rather call "annoying". GROW UP!

See, I would find it rude if I wasn't paying $15 a month for their service.

I'm paying for the right to "test" the patience of the technical support.

You are paying for them hosting you, and for support related to that....and nothing more. The only people you pay to "test" their patience are psychologists. And, none of them will you find willing to do it for $15 for any length of time.

Think it is "funny"? Call your local police like that, and play "20 Questions" - go to jail. Call me up and do that, and I have a nice white straight-jacket and padded room for you. Being funny is one thing, but being a pain in the a** is quite another.

I think mis_chiff said alot, in few words, by the reply:

and sadly for those that really need the help, they can't reach support cause he's busy with Apexx

Think about that, next time your site goes down and all you get is a busy signal. See how funny it is then.

True, you may only be 16. But, you are playing in the adult world of domains (here), hosting (that poor tech-support you harrassed), and the internet at-large. Play with adults, and you may have to pay the adult price of lossing the games you play.


Just things :imho:

Talk about too much time on your hands!

Stephen,

Very interesting Now, I'm worried about you :p j/k

 

[Mr. Websites]

Well said! Exactly my thoughts, maximum.
I’m certain that ApeXX realizes his fault.
Lets all move on with our lives now...
After all, you learn from your mistakes.

 

[Jakey]

You people take this way to seriously...

 

[Nitroshock]

Now I understand the grumpy mood of the tech support people when my call finally gets through.

Lol, yeah, stupid, immature etc- Seems like some people here need to lighten up, amazing how much people give a toss. I think piss off the tech support all you can, very few deserve their jobs anyway- most are kids of 16 themselves anyway...
To be honest though, the conversation just wasn't that funny- all they did was hang up.

Think it is "funny"? Call your local police like that, and play "20 Questions" - go to jail. Call me up and do that, and I have a nice white straight-jacket and padded room for you. Being funny is one thing, but being a pain in the a** is quite another.

Jail?!! Straightjackets?!! C'mon - have you never been bored and done something stupid? You must lead extremely dull lives I'm afraid. I am 24 and hope I still act 16 when I'm 70. I'm not saying this is right, just that its just a joke...

Then there's what I do when I'm bored, I would tell you but maybe that would get me sectioned by all the old doctors in the house...
:hehe:
p.s. nice job stephen, just not sure there's a market for them yet...

 

[LeetPCUser]

That is extremely funny. Wouldn't you feel bad if you were the guy on the other line?

 

[Hitch]

Lol...

Oh how i wish he said....
