HP’s Technical Support Thinks I’m Gay

I’m in the middle of calling Hewlett-Packard’s technical support (aka Indian Call Centre) as my fiance’s laptop is on the fritz, so her name is Robyn and they keep calling her a him even though I tell them she is most definately a she.

Indian Guy: Who are you calling for?
Me: My fiance
Indian Guy: Well tell him to package up the laptop in industry standard 3 inch bubble wrap
Me: Errrr, it’s a she
Indian Guy: Oh, I’m sorry, tell him to package up the laptop in industry standard 3 inch bubble wrap
Me: Again, it’s not a he, it’s a she…
Indian Guy: Oh, I’m sorry… tell him to [yadda yadda yadda]

Some people just wont listen when reading a script…

EDIT: Now, I may have made a joke of the HP Technical Support, but I’ll give them props for being speedy… The laptop was sent via FedEx at 5pm on Wednesday and returned to us in full working order by Friday lunchtime. Kudos to HP for that quick turnaround.

    Ha ha ha ……… You now deal with the problems I deal with everyday!!
    You got through to the GBC (Global Business Centre) and they even cause us lots of problems.
    Does she have a Care Pack or is it just the standard boxed warranty?
