Paraphrasing news articles
Posted by Nathaniel.
I don’t feel like quoting the whole article, but some guy’s Dell laptop recently exploded into flames. Things were rapidly taken care of by the fire department with basically no significant damage to anything except the computer.
The man said that he then called up Dell and talked to one very helpful representative who transfered him to someone less helpful.
The Helpful Rep: I’m sorry your computer caught fire, that’s terrible to hear.
Man: Well, what is Dell going to do about damage to my computer and my house?
Helpful Rep: I don’t know, let me transfer you to someone who can help you.
Unhelpful Rep: Hello, I’m the supervisor, what can I do for you?
Man: My Dell laptop just caught fire and damaged my carpet. Who’s going to pay for all this?
Unhelpful Rep: Well, do you have homeowner’s insurance?
I tell ya’, that’s the perfect answer
