    "I think it's the rollers"

    This never gets old. You are either talking to the customer finding out more details as to what the problem is or you have started working on the machine and some random customer reinterates what you already know. It doesn't matter what the problem is. Squeaking noise, grinding noise, black lines, black spots, jamming... it's always "the rollers" according to the customer. And then you try your hardest to suppress any retaliation that is going through your head. Bitchslap or a simple "Then you fix it asshole!" I always just humor the customer and say "I'll take a look" and mumble "dumbass" when they are out of earshot. What are some things that the customer says to you that immediately makes your blood boil?

    Another one is when they tell me that I am the umpteenth tech to come out and that it's always broken. And...? "Bring us a new one"

    The one that seems to bother me most of any, is did you bring my toner, or do you have any toner, if you did not call and order it, I dont have it, and since we deliver it, we tell them, and its on a lable we stick to every box, cartrige, ect, and it more or less says, you run out, its not our prob, you should have called in sooner, and we take up to 24 hours, thats working hours to get it to you, and if you want it sooner, like today, there is a rush charge, and pretty much no exceptions to it.

    When they say: "That small Samsung (Brother, HP whatever crap) we got from Staples is working much more reliable (prints faster, scans better, prints cleaner) than your big MFP". "Did we got a lemon?" Hans

    I guess my pet peeve would be work orders for lines on copies...and the dispatcher does ask if they cleaned the glass when she takes the call...and I usually call and ask if they clean the glass....and they always say they have...and when I drive 45 minutes to go clean glass...yeah I get a bit pissed off and just want to ask them "What did you clean it with? Fucking mud?"

    the one that always makes me "laugh"....why whenever there are any quality problems, does the customer insist it's the toner....the amount of full bottles i've found in the bin, cos the customer has replaced the toner cos they're certain its the toner.....i always ask....if your car starts to go slowly do you automatically fill up with petrol, even if you have a full tank....
    Tip for the day; Treat every problem as your dog would.....If you cant eat it or f*ck it....then p*ss on it & walk away...

    Although I can relate to all of the above, I must say that some (unfortunately few) of my customers are surprisingly accurate - for a non-tech - when pinpointing the malfunction. I wish all of my customers were like that.

    Government Office, been there done that. They are too stupid to adjust exposure/density when copying from the zillionst copy of handwritten NCR-Paper. If copies are not readable "It must be the toner". Problem is that the machine is on contract including toner..... Hans

    after the repair or service you can say it was the rollers, then everyone is happy
