Me in tech support.

Customer calls: "Internet is not working!!"

Me: "Router lights status?"

Customer: "Can't tell."

Me: "Why?"

Customer: "Router still in box."

Me: "..?"

Me (pretends it was just an error of communication): "Can you please describe the lights on your router?"

Customer: "I can't. It's still in the packaging. The box is on my table."

Me: "...??!? ... You ... need at least electricity to power this device."

Customer spirals into rage and madness: "I ordered wireless internet!! I won't plug any cables in! I did not want any wires!!!"

As a high school student, I had a job like this for about a week. On my last day, I received this call just like yours and I said “You are quite possibly the stupidest person I’ve ever interacted with” because they were yelling this type of nonsense and screaming over me.

I do not regret my exit to the call center work life. You people have a special type of patience and deserve to be paid far more.

No customer service reps? Company fails.
