Whee, I just got told by a customer "I want to talk to a real American human in tech support, not whatever you are!" Unfortunately, I had to be courteous and assure him I was a human in tech support. When I checked where he was from, sure enough, a Texan. Granted, I may not be checking the perfectly nice and competent people who are Texan, but far too often, the jerks are from Texas. The 2nd most common jerks are from New York/New Jersey. Way to play to the stereotypes, folks.

I wonder if he thought I was a computer because I told him he couldn't do what he wanted to do.
Connie is really a computer, pass it on.
I'm Skynet. Don't push me.
edit: Though I'd rather be JARVIS.
Did you call him Dave?
I wish.
"I can't let you do that, Dave." He'd just have said, "My name's not Dave!"
Did you call him Dave?
