in which patch goes off a little
I just finished writing an estimate for a lady driving a very nice Mercedes. When I told her what would be required to fix the vehicle, she looked at me and asked, "Are you sure?" Am I sure? Yeah, I'm sure. This is my job! How about if you don't question me when I'm doing my job? Do I come to your house and question the way you beat your maid? No, of course I don't. Because I've never beaten a maid before. I wouldn't know the proper way to do it. So how about if you don't question me on things you have no idea about, lady?
Sorry. This whole ipod thing really has me on edge.
I get the same thing when I am fixing someone's computer. When I am trying to go through my troubleshooting steps, they like to chime in and suggest something that doesn't even relate to a computer. That is when I give them the good ol' flux capacitor line.
Example: "You're PC is good to go. I had to restart the flux capacitor in order for the hard drive to function properly."
Works everytime!
It happens to me too- I just say "look, I went to 7 years of school for this, and I handle 20 of these cases a week, so you can take my word for it or you can try it your way and take your chances with being Bubba's prison bitch." Usually they chill out and take my advice at that point.
Nobody appreciates an expert. Or us.
it happens to me too. chicks are always like "will that fit in my butt?". "Of course, i've done this like a million times." thanks ky.
you should have looked back at the numbers and told her that you missed a decimal and that it was going to be more. genius.
Every time I try to run a family blog...
