I have twice tried to post replies to people, only to get a weird error message and blank replies showing up. I finally got one posted, but I think I'm giving up on the second, as I don't want to inundate the poor person with blank replies. Pity, it was clever and amusing.
In more weirdness, here's a customer "service" story that I wouldn't have believed if it hadn't happened to me. As you may recall, I have been having a lot of trouble with my home phone service. I was on the phone with a support guy from the vendor today, and he told me that they were going to do thus-and-so and that should fix the problem. Naturally, I take this with a barrel of salt, and asked him, "When I get home, if the phone still isn't working, what is my next step?" And I could have sworn he said, "Do you have a gun?" "What did you say?!?", I asked. "Do you have a gun?" he repeated. Pause, as the fact that he really did say this sinks in. "Is that supposed to be funny?", said I. "Oh, uh, yeah." Well, it's not. I don't know if I was supposed to shoot him, myself or the phone, but it was completely inappropriate and the powers-that-be are going to get an email about it. And they are all lucky that I don't have a gun.
