Benn there, done that:)

Joe Biden may not have been calling Heads of state, or Governors, but he has been making a lot of phone calls.

I approve of the guy panting to fog up the phone booth. And I feel for the guy who kept writing, “click.”

I used to work in the customer service center of a company that sold and serviced IV pumps. Our number was 800-THE-PUMP.

During that time, Nike had a shoe that the wearer could inflate with a pump. I don’t remember why. Their number was 888-THE-PUMP.

We used to get a lot of Nike calls. One day a customer called and said, “My m-—————g shoes don’t work.” I said, “Well, sir, this isn’t Nike, but I can give you their number if you would like to call them.”

He was rightly embarrassed.

I was certainly not the best looking boy in the yearbook.

Therefore, I must be guilty of something.

Mam, that is a CD-ROM and not a holder for your coffee cup.

I had a customer once on the phone. She was having trouble finding anything I asked her for. The 'Start' button for instance.
At one point I asked what was at the top of her screen. She said; "Samsung".
I said; "Don't touch anything. I'll be right over."

I used to do tech support for a cable company in Texas. I had this conversation back in the 90s:

Caller: I can’t get a good picture of the Cowboys game (first clue: ‘Cowboy fan’ tells me already he’s an idiot).

Me: Can you describe the picture?

Caller: It’s all blurry and fuzzy. I can hardly see it.

Me: My records show you have three outlets. Which one is your tv plugged into?

Caller: I don’t know. I moved the tv out onto the patio to watch the game.

Me: What channel do you have the tv on?

Caller: Channel 7

Me: There’s no cable channel 7. You’re getting the over-the-air signal. What do you get if you put the tv on channel 3?

Caller: Nothing. Just fuzz.

Me: Is it connected to a cable box?

Caller: Yes.

Me: Is the cable box connected to the wall?

Caller: What wall? I’m outdoors.

Me: Sir, the only signal you are getting is from the over-the-air antenna.

Caller: Well, when can you send somebody out?

Me: I can’t, sir. You’re not hooked up to cable. First reconnect the cable from a working outlet to the cable box, turn the box on and set your tv set to channel three.

Caller: But then it can’t be outside!

Me: I understand. But it’s not a cable problem when the tv has been disconnected from cable.

Caller: Oh, fer cryin’ out loud. (and hangs up).

(note: Cowboy fans were easily confused, particularly when the game was not on the normal affiliate or when Daylight Savings Time changed. I could be guaranteed two or three idiots wondering why the Cowboys weren’t on.)
