I let something bad happen 

No I didnt let anyone die, but something worse...

Last night, a girl came in my room and started asking me about computers, cus she was going to buy one. Of course I tried to convince her shell be much happyer with the computer I have infront of me (iMac g4) and she just wouldnt budge, the girl knows nothing about computers. She wanted a Dell, and so did her daddy. Well she asked me the worst question in the world "Will you order it over the phone for me? So I dont get a bad computer?", ACK!!! NO!!! of course I said, well if you want me to talk to DELL its gona be crap, but i agreed "shur, ill order you the best computer the PC world has to offer.. which is just above a calculator."

The Dell conversation consisted of this:
Dell goofnut: "Hi and thank you for calling Dell!"
me: "Word up homie"
Dell goofnut: "um hello sir, can I help you?"
me: "nahh, I wana buy a computer"
Dell goofnut: "ok sir, let me put you through to a dell something or other specialist"
me: "wait, stop, what is your job?"
Dell goofnut: "I uh, am a receptionist"
me: "ah, its a shame, put me through"
click ::stupid elevator music::
Dell idiot: "Hi sir, you would like to purchase a computer?"
me: "word"
Dell idiot: "ok, do you know the type of computer you are looking for?"
me: "pff, I wouldn't have called if I knew"
Dell idiot: "what would you be using this computer for"
me: "I dunno, school and shizzaz"
Dell idiot: "Well, we have an excellent Desktop mod.."
me: "NO! I WANT A LAPTOP!"
Dell idiot: "Im sorry I didn't hear you sir, could you please repeat that?"
me: "you can't tell me what to do! [pause] **snicker snicker** a laptop"
Dell idiot: "We have four excellent, notebook types, they ar"
me: "Jebus friggen cry man! I said LAPTOP"
Dell idiot: "Sir, notebooks and laptops are the same, and our models a"
(me have the website up)
me: "nahh, I want the workstation dealie one"
Dell idiot: "Do you know what you will be using this computer for?"
me: "eew, god its ugly, I want one of those White ones"
Dell idiot: "Im sorry sir I we don't sell a white notebook portable"
me: "yes you do! I see them all the time on those 'switch' comercials"
Dell idiot: "no, that isn't us"
me: "why not"
Dell idiot: "i dont know."
me: "what do you know"
Dell idiot: "sir, you want the Workstation portable"
me: "you can't tell me what I want!"
Dell idiot: "what would you like with your Workstation portable"
me: "is it white?"
Dell idiot: "NO! its black!"
me: "o, sorry.."
[obviously changed over to a different person]
Dell idiot #2: "The dell Workstation portable, comes with multiple options you can customize"
me: "ok"
Dell idiot #2: "would you like 2.4Ghz?"
me: "I want 1.8ghz, DDR 256MB of RAM, 40GB of HD, DVD-CD-R drive, floppy drive, 32MB of video RAM, 15" monitor, and what ever else comes with it"
[long pause and typing]
Dell idiot #2: "um currently today we have a special on HD and RAM, would you like 512MB of RAM and a 60 Gb hd for the same price?"
me: "why the **** would you ask something like that? of course I do, you could have surprised me tho!"
Dell idiot #2: "thank you for your time sir, now I need billing information"
[hand the phone over to the girl]
