Thicko visits PC World
Yesterday, I went to PC World. I don't visit often but I was in the vicinity and needed a 4 port USB hub. Normally I keep well away from the salespeople but yesterday was different. It was different because I was tired and hot and just wanted to pick up the hub and be on my way.
"Can I help you?"
Me - "Yes, can you point me in the direction of the USB hubs"
Him - "Follow me, I'll show you what they look like"
He plucks one straight off the rack and says, "There, this will be fine".
Me - "Eh, it says 1.1 the others say 2"
Him - " Don't worry about it. It is only a speed issue and it won't affect you."
Now I know that I am a thick looking, middle aged, nicotine blonde but I do know what a USB hub looks like, and I know what I want.

I hate how the people in computer stores act like idiots to men and pompous asses to women.
I also hate how it takes a PhD in Cryptography to make out the blogger word verification code.
"I am a thick looking, middle aged, nicotine blonde"
Is that you kat ?
Fonzie - Yes I know the verifiction codes are a nuisance and they do seem to be getting longer but without them I get so much spam.
Jac - Yes, I'm middle aged and a bit thick. :-)
I hate dealing with the people in stores or what's even worse, is tech support on the phone. I'm very suspect when they tell me what to do.
PS: I turned off word verification months ago and never get spam any more. I think it was a phase that seems to be over.
Or maybe I'm not worth spamming?
