"Have you tried plugging it in? . . . yes that would help." Funny thing, when my dad started work at Sprint he heard a story where a former employee received a call asking for help with their computer. Asked questions to narrow down the most common computer issues, then when the employee asked "did you check the cables?" the lady responded "Hold on, let me get a flashlight." "A flashlight?" "Yea, the power is out in my building." ". . . . ma'am, return the computer, you're too stupid to own one." Thus the reason I said "Former" employee.

[@DemonicRemption]

@CommanderActaeon Okay you had to have embellished some of this because this is too funny to be real. There's no way anyone would seek tech support for a computer during a power outage.
