The most uncomfotarble phone call of my life.

So, I called the hp tech support for my mom (her notebook keeps freezing up when playing videos). here is my best recount:

lindseybrown: Hi, my laptop keeps freezing when I watch youtube videos on it or any other type of video, also when we use the webcam.

Bob (or so he says. mind you he had a thick indian accent): Okay. Lets download some driver things.

So i get on a website and start downloading some driver things and they take a long time.

Bob: So what do you use your laptop for?

l.b.: Internet, e-mail, photoshop. Normal things.

Bob: So your a photographer? I thought you were a college student.

Thinking that this guys is kinda wierd, aren’t they just supposed to put you on hold when restarting and downloading and stuff?

l.b.: No, I just really like taking pictures. It’s fun.

Bob: Me too. What type of camera do you have?

l.b.: A nikon d80.

Bob: Oh, you have an expensive camera. Do you take pictures of things at the beach?

l.b.: Yeah, sure. I like taking pictures of people too.

Bob: I like taking pictures at the beach…but, not of girls…i mean, i uh….i…uh….wha…uh…..

Long uncomfortable silence where it’s taking everything in me just to not laugh hysterically out loud.

Bob: I’m going to put you on hold for a few minutes.

Few minutes pass.

Bob: Okay, restart your computer.

Long uncomfortable silence.

Bob: So do you take classes then?

This went on for a while where i was doing the nervous laugh while answering him….cuz it was funny and creepy at the same time.

Bob (in an offensive tone): Why do you keep laughing when you answer me? I’m not telling joke.

All I can manage is a disgusted wide eyed look to my mom. Once again it’s just a long uncomfortable silence because really, what do you say to somethign like that?

Bob: So what else do you like to do?

Not sure if i should answer because now its really getting creepy, but i really don’t want to hang up and go through the whole process again because i just really want the computer to be fixed. So I went with the answer the usually throws everybody off…

l.b.: I go to church. Thats all I do.

Bob: So you sing then?

l.b.: Uh, no. Definitely don’t do that.

Bob: Oh, I thought you sang up at the front of church.

l.b.: No, nobody wants to hear me do that.

Bob: Your good, sing for me.

l.b.(totally creeped out again):Uh, no. Nobody wants to hear that.

Bob: Just sing for me. Come on!

I hang up the phone.
And the computer still isn’t fixed.
