Don’t Start With The French

(I am the bad customer in this story. I am living in France for the year and, while I speak French fairly well, IT terminology is beyond me. I have called tech support, and the following takes place in French.)

Tech Support Guy: “Please click the ‘Start’ button.”

Me: “‘Start’? I don’t know what that is.”

Tech Support Guy: “Is your computer turned off?”

Me: *proudly turns computer off* “Yep!”

(That guy deserved a medal for not hanging up the phone.)
