Wordperfect Customer Support Actual dialogue of a former Wordperfect Customer Support Employee (CSE) Customer Support Employee (CSE): May I help you? Customer: Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect. CSE: What sort of trouble? Customer: Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away. CSE: Hmm. So what does your screen look like now? Customer: Nothing. CSE: Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out? Customer: How do I tell? CSE: Can you see the C: prompt on the screen? Customer: What's a sea-prompt? CSE: Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen? Customer: There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type. CSE: Does your monitor have a power indicator? Customer: What's a monitor? CSE: It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on? Customer: I don't know. CSE: Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that? Customer: Yes, I think so. CSE: Great! Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall. Customer: I can't. It's dark out here. CSE: Dark? Customer: There's a power outage. CSE: A power... A power outage? Aha! Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in with? Customer: Well, yes, I keep them in the closet. CSE: Good! Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from. Customer: Really? Is it that bad? CSE: Yes, I'm afraid it is. Customer: Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them? CSE: Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer.
