‘Abusive’ computer


Some people are embarrassingly blunt.
We reached a relative’s house. The thrilled host declared, “How nice! Let me prepare a delicious dish.”
Half-an-hour passed with no sign of her emerging from the kitchen. My hungry little nephew said loudly, “I am hungry.” After one hour, the host appeared with boiling “Upma.” (South Indian snack made of Semolina).
My nephew’s instant reaction: “Yukkk..Upmaaa? So long for this!”
It was Parents Day at a Dubai school. One mom distributed yummy “carrot halwai” to children. A little girl tasted the sweet and instantaneously spit it out with a loud, “yukkk.”
What happened?
“I almost swallowed cardamom,” she replied.
The sweet fun ended in an awkward show as other children started imitating the girl.
"Wall Street Journal" had once mentioned about some dumb people.
A Dell technician received a call from a customer who was very angry that the computer called him "bad and invalid." He had to be told that "bad command" and "invalid" responses should not be taken personally.
One guy complained that “cup holder” on his PC had broken during warranty period. The caller had been using the CD-ROM drive as a cup holder.
