A long time ago (pre-1981) I repaired cash registers - Sweda.
Unfailingly, with the parts of the mechanical machine spread out over the counter, some wise-*ss would say "I guess it's free" Nyuk-Nyuk.
One of my associates had a sign made up that he would unroll for said wisacre - "Just because the cash register is being repaired, does not mean your goods are free". It usually shut them up.
Nothing works quite so well that I can't totally disable it by trying to make it a little better.

How bout when they ask if your working on it and you have the fuser tore apart on the counter.. unreal sometimes.
Customer: what was wrong with it?
Me: (a little to enthusiastically explain) this error code relates to...and....
Customer (blank stare)what did you do to fix it?
Me: (holding out inevitable pocket screws) it broke down with a case of too many screws
Some people may say I have a short temper, but I prefer to call it
"A swift and assertive reaction to bullshit"
"You have to fix it NOW, it's a patient critical printer!"
So has there been a huge medical break through while I wasn't looking and they now use printers as part of a medical procedure?
So you can't print labels out because you insist on trying use cut price El Cheapo labels and they've now jammed the printer solid?
Tough, write them out by hand.
At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.
all these stories are hilarious customers can defiantly be a little dumb sometimes
I walk into a old client to give them the low down on whats going on(bad news, and where to go from here.. ).
I got 5 mins of sales 101.
Idling colour developers are not healthy developers.
I once pulled and entire sheet of staples out of a single pass document feeder after getting a call for jamming. I was deeply unamused. Guess they decided to reload the staple cartridge over the doc feeder and failed.
