Funniest tech support call i've taken in a while...

[JN]

Call comes in from a guy called Padraig I often speak to in Ireland...

Padraig: "I cant work out how to get a turd on my system"

Me: "a what?"

Padraig: "a turd!"

Me: "explain what you are doing..."

Padraig: "i'm in word and i'm trying to do a turd"

Me: "ummmm..."

Me: "a turd?"

Padraig: "yars a turd!!"

Me: "describe what a turd looks like to me"

Padraig: "its between a half and a quarter....a turd"

Me: "OOOH a THIRD!...You're trying to write a third."

Anyways had me in stitches...and got a few funny looks at why I was talking to someone on the phone about turds.

LOL! Well as much as I wanted to believe that he was actually asking me to assist him in wiping my backside on his Word document, I knew deep down that he was after something else
