Me every time I call tech support. I feel so stupid.

As someone who formerly worked phone support, let me assure you we love the dumb, easy ones. Everyone wants an easy win and bonus when it kicks you to the back of the call queue.

My favorite question to ask callers when I worked phone support: "What happens when you push the power button"

I got so many "wait, theres a power button?!" replies. And a few <click, whurrrr> "Uhh, i'll call you back if i have anything else".

"Oh, I've lost power due to a storm, is that important?"
