Today, I had a long, meaningful telephone conversation. After hanging up, I realized I hadn't had such a great conversation in a long time. Who was it with? The Dell Customer Support guy. FML

Today, I was on the phone with Microsoft Customer Service for about a total of 2 hours. That's the longest I've ever talked to anybody. FML

Today, I was really depressed so I talked on the phone with my best friend. She was telling me how a guy she really liked complimented her. I told her it was be nice to get at least one compliment. After a long silence she says, "You're really good with computers." FML

Today, I was on the phone to a guy I really like from work. We'd been talking for about 2 minutes, when he said he was getting another call, and put me on hold. I was so excited to be on the phone with him, it took me a whole 15 minutes to realise he had actually just hung up on me. FML

Today, for the first time in a month, I talked to someone in person besides my grandmother and my husband. It was a store clerk calling me "Miss" and asking if I was finding everything okay. FML

Today, I had a hour long conversation with someone I apparently was friends with a few years ago. I couldn't remember who he was for the life of me, so I just played along. Finally, I told him I didn't remember him. He had the wrong number. I had a long conversation with a wrong number. FML

Today, I had a rare phone call from my ex-girlfriend. We ended up talking for hours about old times. It was the best conversation we have had in forever, it made me miss her and miss us. Later on in the day, she called back asking what we talked about. She was too high too remember. FML

Today, I finally had a man say, "I love you" to me in a sincere tone. It was a customer, who was high, over the phone. I said it back. FML

Today, while at work, I had to spend an hour and a half on the phone, listening to an old lady relive her entire day in excruciating detail. We're not allowed to hang up on customers, and she was extremely quick to dismiss all my attempts to steer the call back on topic. FML

Today, I finally had a phone call after a week of nothing. It was my mother. It was by accident. FML

I have a Dell and they are good. I've actually had mine for about 5 or 6 years and in all that time have only had one issue with it and got that resolved. MACs are overpriced.

My mom always has nice conversations with Dell Support Members. It's always her yelling at them to standby their shitty name and do something good for their consumers. Dell- D- Dumb E- Elite L- Looking L- Liars (:

Well, if she's the yelling type - no wonder. FHL.

The Dell customer service people I've talked to/ever dealt with have been extremely nice and more than helpful! But I'm sorry you don't have someone like that consistently in your life. :(

meh.. did the same thing yesterday when i needed a replacement part for my laptop. the Dell reps in the Philippines are a really friendly bunch. i prefer them much more than the ones based in India. i love my PC and macs are overpriced toys for dumbasses who don't know how to ******* use a Windows computer properly.

I'm sorry, but I rather resent that. I have used PCs my entire life, but switched to Macs because, as a musician, Macs are better for notation and recording software. Macs do cost more than PCs, but I found that I received much more with my Mac than I ever got up front with a PC. Any time I bought a PC, I would have to buy any extra software that I needed. My Mac came with pretty much everything - short of Sibelius notation software - that I needed. I also liked how Macs are much more user-friendly. With a PC, I would spend God knows how long just setting it up. All I had to do on my Mac was set a password, and I was ready to go. To me, the price is worth it.
