Op-tickle Fibers

(I am in the middle of finishing the last download to fix a customer’s computer, but his Internet keeps resetting.)

Me: “Sorry the download didn’t work. Your Internet reset again. We will have to try it again and hopefully, it will finish this time.”

Customer: “You know, if you want to speed this up, all you have to do is take the mouse, and kinda rub it over the download box.”

Me: “I’m sorry, rub it over the download box?”

Customer: “Yeah, you know? If you tickle the download box with the mouse it goes faster. I thought you would know that, being a tech support guy and all.”
