  • Pin code please

    Me: I need your pin code so I can troubleshoot your mobile broadband modem.

    Customer: pin code?

    Me: the 4 digit code you punch into the modem software everytime you want to surf the net

    C: oh 56 84 26 75

    Me: are you sure?, that sounds like your PUK code?

    C: It’s the one I use everytime!

    Me: well, it’s not your PIN code, because your modem does not accept it.

    C: But it has to be it It’s the one I use!

    After three times it instead starts to ask for the PUK code and it readdily accepts the code she mentioned earlier.

    When the customer came to collect the PC I took the chance to question her a bit more.

    Turns out she used the PUK code every time she used the modem and reset the pin code (”password” as she called it) every time since after you have reset it it won’t ask for it until next session.

    If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

      I should have written down all the screwy stuff asked me by friends/relatives/acquaintances and those on web forums. I think all of us should write a textbook for those entering computer service careers

        English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.
