Me: “Thanks for calling. How can I help you?”
Customer: “Your website has been timing me out ever since I switched computers.”
Me: “What kind do you use currently?”
Customer: “Mac, using Safari as the browser.”
Me: “Well, ma’am, we did not test the website with Macs, and we know it doesn’t work properly with Safari.”
Customer: “Why didn’t you test with Macs?”

Customer: “Really? I think everyone should use Macs. Everything runs perfectly on them!”
