1990s Memes

Customer calls tech support because their computer is literally on fire. Smoke, flames, the whole nine yards. Instead of calling 911 themselves, they dial up their ISP to ask if the servers are on fire. Because clearly when your house is burning down, the priority is whether your dial-up connection is experiencing server-side issues. The tech support guy had to write a note saying "Not a joke" because he knew nobody would believe this level of user logic without proof. And honestly? Fair. The 1990s were a different time—people were still figuring out that computers weren't magic boxes, but apparently nobody told them that ISPs don't host your hardware in your living room. The real kicker is the deadpan delivery. "No kidding." Yeah, we believe you. We've all been in tech support. We've seen things.
