[QUOTE="menstrual_sweatpants_disco:706112"]Best story ever was when we were getting comcast cable internet installed. I was at work and a family member would be home when the guy came around. I made it easy for him and set aside another computer in another room (he can stay the fuck out of mine) that he could connect it to. I took my router, switches, and computers right out of the picture as to not confuse him. I set up ALL the cables he needed. All that was here was a lone computer with a fresh install of windows on it (running, and with the windows firewall software disabled), a power strip he could plug the modem into and the coax cable he needed. I even labeled the cable with a tag that said "to splitter by fuse panel". Later at work I see I have a voicemail. This is what I get: Irate brother on voicemail: "The comcast guy is here and he's having trouble setting up the cable because of your firewall." Another voicemail: "You need to call back right now or this guy can't do the installation. He says he needs to connect to the main office to diagnose the problem but can't get past your firewall." I finally call home. Brother: "The comcast guy needs the password to your computer." Me: "No he doesn't." Brother: "What?" Me: "I set aside a fucking computer for him with everything labeled. Tell him to connect the modem to that one. He doesn't need to be anywhere near my shit." Brother: "What about the firewall?" Me: "Tell this idiot that there's no firewall. The only firewall he'd ever have to encounter is something he brought with him or the windows firewall on the computer, but that's disabled." a few moments pass, then he hands the phone off to the tech Comcast guy: "Hi there, I can't install the modem to that computer because there's no network card in it." Me: "ummm, no, there should be a card in there." Comcast guy: "I didn't see one, is it external or..." Me: "No, it's integrated right into the motherboard it should be above or below the USB jacks on the back ." Comcast guy: "......" Me: "It should look like a big phone plug." Comcast guy: "Oh, there it is, it was hiding on me."[/QUOTE]
