Not so funny joke of the day.

I do the same except without the smile. Just can't do it any more.

"must be a big problem, you brought the book with you"
"can I just make 1 copy, and then you can continue"
"are you going to fix it right this time"

But I can usually get them off my back with "it should be OK, I read the manual this morning"

Of course a sarcastic, snarky come back is always best. When they say I should get an office there I always come back with great, I want a corner office with windows, my own desk and a big paycheck. Where is HR located?

The usual one, when you have a m/c in pieces...."oh..is it working?"....i normally reply, "yes it's working perfectly, but as i was bored, i decided to come & take your m/c apart...."......or they say.."oh...dont suppose i can use it at the moment?"....to which the reply is..."hold on....if you hold that wire & i hold this one...i'll just plug it in & then you might be able to.....".....the look on their face everytime is priceless

The one I hear is "This machine has a lot of problems, did we get a lemon?". And they have a 4 year old machine with most of the problems being end user induced.

You have changed so many bits its must be a new machine (its a service done properly)
You can come and hoover my house if you want (some guy sitting behind a desk with a t-shirt and a scarf on, to which i replied 'i have a girlfriend' and turned my hoover back on )
This machine is a bag of spanners (nope its a bag of blue-tack, paper clips and staples - thanks to you)
Can we just have a new machine (yes, if i can have a new customer to go with it)

When they ask that while the machine is obviously not able to copy (i.e. in pieces all around me), I just reply "Go ahead, help yourself!"

Oh " Mr. Fixit is here again! "
amazing how many clients refer to their tech in this manner.
one place I attend to has 6 floors with 5 machines on each floor, plus an untold number of printers.
ID 10 T is the most common error code in the place.

^{Ok you blokes have high-lighted all the best bad customer annecodes. So I will throw in a couple of negative-turned-positive quotes.

I hope the customer doesn't read this... or worse my wife....

I had a customer which has about 30-40 women working in a truely under machine resourced office. < add tears here>

The female senior manager along with 3 other nice looking women complained that I was up there fixing their machine so often that she was going to assign me a bed out the back room.

To which I replied "Love with all the good looking women you have working in this place you would'nt have to ask me twice."

True story.

Hey! I'm no oil painting to look at, by ya got sieze the moment...

And no , there was no bed incase you all ask......}
