I just got a phone call from the guy who bought a HP calculator from me on eBay, a month ago. It's 11:55 here. He wanted software support from me. What do I look like, AO flippin' L? With 24-hour hotline?

The guy must've looked up my phone-number in the white-pages, since he called my home number.

He seemed suspicious that I hadn't given him all of the memory the calculator came with. I firmly told him I had nothing else I could help him with; he has a working calculator, and if he has software problems he needs to talk to the people who made the software, and no, I didn't need his phone number in case I had any ideas to help him out. I was probably too polite, but frankly I was dumbfounded.

If you were AOL, he'd never have gotten to a human.

Yes.

The question is: are you bitter enough?
