Not really what they said but the accent she was talking in made it one of the funniest phone calls ever.

Phoning into Blizzard to talk about account recovery and this Scottish girl in the thickest Scottish accent Ive ever heard comes on. I couldnt stop laughing for ten minutes at which point she'd hung up.

The joke was on me though I had to wait another hour or so for some rather dull voiced man to answer the phone.

Not really tech support, but the Geek Squad at Best Buy yesterday told me that the problem with Avast was that it didn't scan programs as you run them...

LOL Epic fail there by the good ol' chaps from xbox customer support.

"Is it switched on?" Best I've had.
It's sad that they HAVE to ask these questions, cause some morons aren't smart enough to handle that themselves.

I don't remember a time where I had to use tech support. I have a knack for pushing buttons and having stuff magically happen.

If I have to call tech support, it's because the item in question has caught fire. Consumer electronics aren't difficult to figure out. Using logic, reason and Google, you can usually work your way to the root of the problem, then fix it or call tech support if the root requires actual repairs. If you call tech support and they solve your problem with anything less than a warranty cash-in or an oblique work-around that involves a patch they must email to you, you've failed at life.

I'll own your credit card probs with mine.

I was paying with a card from one company for about 2 years and that was all fine and dandy, BUT then something horrible happend D: i changed Card Companies D: horrible i know. First they would not let me get rid of my xbox live on my old credit card...so i just let it sit and bought xblive with my new one...BUT eventually after they kept trying to take money out of my old one they decided to contact meh........i said "i tried to get rid of the card but your retarded website woudlnt let me" so they decided to lock my account...so i said fuck it and changed accounts...a year later they emailed me saying "we could not order xbox live for "old acct name" because ther were no funds attached to your card (old card) sooooooo the locked MY NEW ACCT because it had all the same address's n stuff as my old one....took me 4 weeks to get that fixed...

Once, but there were no real problems. He was an Indian guy, like most tech support nowadays, but he did his job, and I found out that I needed a new bloody internet driver download because my laptop thinks it's fun to not tell me that.

Though I can't believe some people they call are so stupid they need to spell out their letters with phrases "'A' as in 'Apple', 'C' as in 'Car'"

That's just

also i fear the day when 911 calls are outsourced to India
also if you start screeming curse words and jibberish into the reciever they automatticly put you through to a represenetive in your own country who can actually do something
