Dear idiots at MartinWebTech,

 

I recently called your help line because of a problem with my computer and I was given instructions to fix it. It worked for almost a day and then the screen froze again and I can’t turn it off without pulling out the plug.  I cannot access any of my files.

I called again and that time I was told to wait until they called me back.

After hours, I called back and I was hung up on almost instantly after stating my problem.

 

It’s been 3 days and I need my computer.

If it’s not reparable than at least let me know instead of hanging up so I can gather up the last of my money for a new computer from a different company!

 

If this ends up unanswered too I’m coming up there to speak with you in person.

 

 

Fuck you sincerely, Derek Hale.

Need Help with my Computer

Dear G. Stilinski,

 

I have been referred to you after contacting your company’s tech support about a problem with my computer.

 

For over a week now I haven’t been able to open up more than one window at a time. When I do open more, the screen freezes and I have to turn it off by pulling the plug because the power button won’t work either.

 

Tell me I can fix this, I need the stupid thing to work and I can’t keep using the public computers at the local call shop to check on my e-mails like a damn pervert.

 

 

Derek Hale

BAHAHAHAHA “like a damn pervert” I just peed a little.

 

Anyway… your computer is seriously damaged, it sounds like your hard drive is failing you.

 

How old is your PC? Do you have a warranty?

Our company’s warranties are for up to 3 years, so if you got it less than 3 years ago, you can bring it to one of our repair shops and then hope for the best. But I’m pretty sure they’ll tell you to just get a new one.

 

Sorry, man.

 

Stiles xo

What the hell, did you just send me a kiss and a hug?

 

Fuck, I bought the computer 4 years ago.

Are you sure I can’t at least try to do something?

My financial situation doesn’t really allow for a brand new computer.

I’m so tired of this shit.

 

Derek fucking Hale

Oops, sorry.

 

I’m just so used to typing xo to my friends lol

 

I guess you could try turning it off and on again (;D), updating, deleting caches and all that jazz but it won’t do much. Your computer is too far gone.

 

R.I.P. sourwolf’s PC…

Excuse me? How old are you?

 

You do know that you just sent an e-mail from a company address containing ‘lol’ and ‘;D’.

How do you even have this job? Do you write to everyone like this?

This is highly unprofessional.

 

I could report you and you could get fired for this!

Dude, so sorry I didn’t answer yesterday, my shift ended at 3.

 

So first of all, I’m very intelligent and a great asset to this company, so they wouldn’t fire me over this. And I can be professional but I didn’t think you’d be so stuck up…

(Also I’m good friends with Lydia Martin. You know, Martin, as in MartinWebTech!!!)

 

Second of all, why would you report me? I’m not the one that’s using profanities in every single e-mail and insulting our products. My friend Isaac from the Support Team showed me that first e-mail you sent.

I mean I like you but you’ve got some anger issues, man. You gotta relax a little.

 

And I called you sourwolf because you’re so grumpy and because of the wolf thing obviously. ;P

Wolf thing? How do you know I’m a wolf?

 

Are you a hunter?

 

Are the Argents behind this? We had a truce, they won’t hunt werewolves if I don’t expand my pack!

Duuudeee, you almost got me there!

 

It took me ages to figure out that that was an April Fool’s prank!

I thought either you or I was going insane.

 

And the wolf thing omg!!  The funny thing is, I was almost ready to believe that I just accidentally got wrapped up in some supernatural werewolf drama.

 

LOL  I’m pretty gullible.

 

So I guess you figured out that I called you a wolf because of your e-mail address. Why do you even have that? Lmao

 

Ps.: Sorry I didn’t reply until today. I work Tuesday through Friday from 8 am to 3 pm.

Hey now that you’ve pranked me I officially consider us friends, and friends usually don’t just talk through e-mailing so.... you could call me on my cell if you want to talk or something?

 

My number is 1920-518511 (:

right.

 

It was a prank. I’m fun like that.

 

But I don't get how you could possibly consider us friends from those few conversations.

We’ve never met,

I don’t even know what you look like!
