I know it's April 1st, and I must admit I thought I was being pranked... Sad thing was she was deadly serious. A lady walks in with a laptop under her arm.....

Me: Can I help you?

Lady: Yeah, I need you to fix my laptop.

Me: OK, what seems to be the problem?

Lady: It won't go online, the wireless won't connect to our router.

Me: OK, lets just check it out. *Laptop picks up and connects to our workshop wireless fine* Hmm, it seems fine. Have you made sure your router is working?

Lady: Yes, we tried my sisters laptop too and that wouldn't connect either.

Me: So neither yours or your sisters will connect?

Lady: Yes, and it works fine at her house so it must be my laptop.

Me: No, I'd say more likely your router is either faulty or needs resetting.

Lady: No, it's the laptop, it won't talk to the router.

Me: But neither will your sisters?

Lady: *lets out a deep sigh* Yes, I said that. Are you a little bit slow dear?

Me: Pardon?

Lady: Look are you going to fix my laptop or not?

Me: As far as I can see there's nothing wrong with it....

Lady: OH FOR.... *looks ready to start shouting but takes a deep breath* Fine, Fine. I'll take it to somone who knows what they're doing!

She stomped off and about 2 minutes later the director came up from the shop with a huge grin on his face.

Director: What did you say to her?

Me: *I go over the discussion*

Director: Oh right, as she was leaving she told me "I'm all for equal opportunity but REALLY, should you be employing somone with learning difficulties as a technician?"

Me: *Sigh & Facepalm*

Director: *laughing* Hope you realise you're in for a good month of **** for this!
