Little old ladies
...Say the darnededst things.
I just had a little old lady call me about 'missing' emails. It would seem she was getting daily reports from the Weather Network. She didn't like the fact that she was getting them at noon. Fine. I can accept that. I then told her how to work around it by just going to their website and getting it in real time. I explained to her how email sometimes isn't instantaneous. She started to argue with me how email works when clearly she didn't understand. That's not the best part of the story though...
The little old lady then had the nerve to tell me that Mac's were better than PCs and Windows had all sorts of problems (she had a Mac). Nevermind that she couldn't even tell me what program she was using for email on her Mac - or that she didn't know how to view webpages without me telling her. No, nevermind that. Here she was telling me what computer I should own!
Awesome!
