* Customer: "No."
* Tech Support: "Ok, sir. Can you tell me what you have done up until this point?"
* Customer: "Sure, you told me to write 'click' and I wrote 'click'."

* Me: "Yes, that's true to a degree, but there are firewalls that--"
* Friend's Father: "No, but they can hack into your computer even when it's off and steal your electricity."
* Me: "Umm...I'm pretty sure that won't happen."
* Friend's Father: "It's all over the news. You mean to tell me they're wrong?"
* Me: "...I guess so."
