    So I get a call from Microsoft...


    I really wanted to "play" with this person but I was in the supermarket and didn't have the time.

    Call was from an unknown number. He said he was from Microsoft and wanted to know if I was using Windows

    I got one of those calls this morning, told me he was getting lots of problems coming from my computer. He sounded like he had a bad cough as every so often he'd get a coughing fit.

    He asked me if I'd noticed any errors on my computer, I asked him which one, he said the computer you have and I asked again which one, he put the phone down, how very rude of him.

    I like the ol' "I have a mac" scenario

    They always hang up first as well Obviously they didn't pass their customer service training in helping customers "fix" their machines

    Called again and this time I was home but wasn't in the mood. Preoccupied with a computer build I'm planning.

    I did that once. Confused the poor offspring of questionable parentage for a bit until he finally hung up. I guess they didn't include that potential scenario in his script.

    Try it the next time you get a call. If you don't want or have time to play with them, say something like, "Thank God you called! I can't my stupid Win 8 tablet to turn on."

    I only have gotten one call from these people in all of my computing life.

    I told him I didn't have a computer and that was the end of it.
