Your strangest computer coincidences.

So I had the Oddest thing happen to me just now, and figured why not make a post about it since today is a little slow.

 

I work in a PC repair shop and I had just finished working on a dell desktop and I went to lookup the customer in our machine to call them, I searched their name and I see they checked in their Dell desktop. so I call the number.

   What's so strange you ask?  I got the wrong person!  They said they dropped off their dell a year ago and its still working great!  So I embarrassingly apologize for the wrong number and hangup.  I go back into my machine and I see this TWO people with the same name.... Now I know that isn't strange at all, here is what is...

 

They have the exact same first and last name.

They both brought in Dell desktops a year apart to the MONTH.

Their phone numbers matched:

(123) 456-7890

(123) 465-7890

Yeah, just the two numbers switch places!!!

And once I talked to them, they were both soft-spoken middle aged women that sounded pretty close to the same...

 

Sadly they did not have the same service or receipt amount

here is my story:

 

I had a very nice gaming laptop bought to me because windows was full of viruses, I ended replacing the HDD with a bigger and newer one on request of the mother of the guy;

 

Next week the same laptop commes in from a different person, asking me to format the computer and add more ram.

 

The pc was stolen as I noticed that it still had the other person's account,

Contacted the police and the owner of the laptop, ended up having a happy custommer

 

Sadly it was a summer job, so I don't work there anymore.

 

PS: the pc was stolen in the tram from the kid.
