Some scammer dork from India just called me. He said that he was from "the computer company". Then, this moron says that they need to "check your computer". I replied: "Who the *bleep* are you?". He said again that he was from "the computer company." Then he begins to ask me questions about my operating system and he tells me that "your computer has a virus". I died laughing and I hung up on him.

What a douche. I run checks on my computer every night. I also update any security measures daily.

Who falls for this stuff??  :D :D :D

I bought a hoodie which was SUPPOSED to look like the Assassins creed hoodie. http://www.dealman.co.nz/products/mens-assassins-style-hoodie

Instead of it looking like that, it's just a black, plain hoodie with a tiny hood. Very disappointed.

The technologically challenged. Mostly older people who are so intimidated by the computer they got told that they "need" to have and have no idea how to use....


Unfortunately fear can cause even people who are generally quite switched on to make silly mistakes, like getting fooled by (what sounds like in yr case) a spectacularly braindead scammer!

I encountered these people a lot when working in the electronics department at my old job. Some people would seriously believe anything you told them. It was a little scary....

Well, it's time like that when being a cynical skeptic with a "screw you" attitude comes in handy.  :D

I've received those calls a few times.  I tried to have phone sex with them the last time.   They haven't called back.

People who like to constantly show off all of the 50-cent words in their vocabulary during casual conversation in order to make themselves feel intellectually superior really annoy me.  As a matter of fact, I do not carry a dictionary nor a thesaurus on me.  If you want to get your message across, it's probably best to do so speaking plainly.

Okay... what did you do this time? o.O

"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" basically. I'm stressed as hell, I've got an exam in the morning and something that causes me so much anxiety in the afternoon. I don't even know what to stress about most :p
