    Twi-Tard at the movies

    So, running the projection booth the other day, when I get a phone call from our film courier service.

    Anyhoo, guy wants to know if we still have our hard drives of District 9 and New Moon, or if they've been shipped back. I told him District 9 was shipped out but that Twilight (my words, important) was still awaiting pickup.

    Commence suck:

    Guy: "Excuse me, I was looking for New Moon, not Twilight."
    Me: "Yeah, I mean New Moon. We just call it Twilight since it's the Twilight series."
    Guy: "Well, is it Twilight or New Moon?"
    Me: "It's the same thing, really. The official title is 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon.' We still have the hard drive, it's waiting to go out."
    Guy: "Twilight is the name of the first movie. New Moon is the name of the second movie. Which one do you have?"
    Me: (feeling I've been pretty patient up to now) Do you want to argue semantics or do you want the information you called for? We. Still. Have. The. Hard. Drive. Obviously, it's New Moon, the second movie, since the first came out over a year ago. And I've already told you that. Twice.
    Guy: "OK. Have a nice night!"



    srsly?

    Seems like he was actually referring to the names of the books, not the movies. (Not that I know anything about that...) He must be a big fan!! But yeah, it's not hard to figure out what you were saying

      Wow, someone's picky about their movie titles. He would have hated me but he would have been so fun to mess with...least till I got fired. XD

        and all 6 star wars movies are usually just called star wars....

        and horror of horrors friday the 13th movies just have numbers-only a few have other names....
        Honestly.... the image of that in my head made me go "AWESOME!"..... and then I remembered I am terribly strange.-Red dazes

          He probably is the type who calls tech support to complain that a program is telling him to press any key, but his keyboard doesn’t have an “ANY” key.

              Whew, all this computer work is making me thirsty. I think I'll ask for a Tab.

              *presses Tab*

              Oh, no time to drink. The computer is starting up!

                    At least diet soda isn't as sticky and won't attract ants.

                    ... they don't use the period after the Dr any more... haven't for years, I don't think...

                      And just think how much grief would have been spared if the developers had just had the sense to make the instructions read "Press G to continue". It didn't need to be "G", Ol' Fat Fingers sitting at his computer could have pressed anything and the process would continue. But when you give some people too many choices, their little brains go *KABOOM!*. Okay, some only go *pphfffzzzttt*, but I'm feeling generous tonight.
