    ThatGuyLookingForAdvice reacted to Trik'Stari in Is RGB Getting Out of Hand?   
    I absolutely disagree. We need more RGB stuff. Although I do agree that making the mobo RGB and then mostly one color, is stupid. If anything, it should be RGB on a black motherboard. (maybe white)
     
    Now if only GPU manufacturers would make the side logo's that are illuminated, RGB instead of set colors.

    My computer crashed from overheating and I told my father I needed to buy some fans. I came back and he put a bigass house fan blowing directly at it. He told me it was fine now and asked me to try it. Predictably, it crashed but he asked me "Do you think its too cold?"

    Worked as a temp at a it-support center. One day a customer called, because her printer wasn't working. I offered to drive to her house to fix it (she lived about 100 miles from my workplace). I got there just to find out she had not plugged the power cord into the wall, and the printer was fine.

    I sold a mother board online once, it was a workstaion grade but since i upgraded my cpu to the new intel socket with a 2700k, i didnt need it anymore. I get an email saying it doesn't work. I say okay send it back ill see if it was a old bios problem that i can fix. I get it back, i kid you not it looked like he freaking punched the shit out of the socket pins! some where torn out! wtf?? sadly i sold it though amazon, which mean when i told him he purposely broke it and ill send it back he went to amazon who forced me to give him a refund. never again will i sell on amazon.

    Must read.... I borrowed this from a friends post..
    Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets.
    I asked for a half dozen nuggets.
    'We don't have half dozen nuggets,' said the teenager at the counter.
    'You don't?' I replied.
    'We only have six, nine, or twelve,' was the reply.
    'So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?'
    'That's right.'
    So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets
    (Unbelievable but sadly true...)

    and she said they didn't have any, only Splenda and sugar.)

    I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those 'dividers' that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed.
    After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the
    'divider', looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it.
    Not finding the bar code, she said to me, 'Do you know how much this is?'
    I said to her 'I've changed my mind; I don't think I'll buy that today.'
    She said 'OK,' and I paid her for the things and left.
    She had no clue to what had just happened.
    ( But the lady behind me had a big smirk on her face as I left)

    A woman at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly.
    When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM 'thingy.'
    (Keep shuddering!!)

    I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. 'Do you need some help?' I asked. She replied, 'I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?'
    'Hmmm, I don't know. Do you have an alarm, too?' I asked.
    'No, just this remote thingy,' she answered,
    handing it and the car keys to me. As I
    took the key and manually unlocked the door, I
    replied, 'Why don't you drive over there and
    check about the batteries. It's a long walk....'
    PLEASE just lay down before you hurt yourself !!!

    Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, 'I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?' 'Just use paper from the photocopier', the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five 'blank' copies.
    Brunette, by the way!!

    A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid had eaten ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and he should be fine, the mother says, 'I just gave him some ant killer......'
    Dispatcher: 'Rush him in to emergency right away'
