Hahah, the Accounts manager where I work is an big old heavy handed scotsman who isn't very I.T literate.
In one year he went through 4 keyboards and was told any more breakages and he would have to pay. Funnily enough he's had the one he has now for 6 months
I sometimes watch him type and flinch. Apparently to use backspace and successfully delete an incorrectly typed character you have to hit the key with the same amount of force as you would apply to a sledgehammer.
Haha, I had an experience where I'd fixed somebodies pc and got a call about an hour after they had picked it up as it couldnt connect to the internet, obviously this was all my fault even though I'd done nothing to the connection at their house. I could clearly hear the daughter having a right tantrum in the background and calling me all sorts of names while I politely asked the mother to double check all the cables were correctly plugged in, daughter still screetching that she's triple checked them all already and it's something 'that idiot's done' when mother discovers that said tantrum thrower has failed to plug the ADSL Router back into the phone line, she apologised and went to hang up but not before I heard the her starting to go off on one at the daughter, always makes me chuckleI had some one call me patronising lately, for telling them that a HDMI to USB cable didn't exist.
I tried to explain to them that they're utterly different technologies with completely different "wires" inside that do different things and that a USB CABLE with a HDMI on the other end isn't possible.
Cue them screaming and shouting down the phone that I am indeed the one who is wrong.
This was for a "friend's mum's" laptop, which I set up in the first place, configuring it to work with the TV via a HMDI cable.
She wouldn't accept that a cable I'd given her was the right thing (A HDMI cable) despite me continually reminding her that I set up the laptop in the first place, so it was a different laptop, or she's simply not looking at the right port.
This went on about about 20 minutes, resulting in her rage quiting the phone call.

. They transmit your data though copper lines in an analogue signal, which they modulate from a digital signal. In fact an ADSL Modem is made up from 256 modems built in using 4KHz bands .
