I hate you Synn, lmao.
If we're swapping idiot tech support stories:
I was talking to this one guy who for one reason or another needed to boot to safemode. So I tell him:
'Alright sir, lets go ahead and do this: Shut your system down. Leave it off for about 15 seconds. And I want you to, as soon as you hit the power button, begin hitting F8 at a frequency of about "f8, f8, f8"(Gotta use your imagination here). Keep hitting it until you see Advanced Boot Options. Let's go ahead and do that now'
Ok, simple step but I feel I gave pretty percise instructions.

3 minutes go by and he doesnt say a word. So I say:
'How are we doing?'
He says:
'The screen is still black'
I ask:
'Did you hit the power button?'
And I get...
'I thought you were going to...'
I've been doing tech support all over for about 5 years. This was the only time I was actually stammering.
