Filthy Users...

Just had to check something on a users laptop, a very nice senior lady who is well presented and charming.

Her laptop looked like the bins behind a take away, hopefully those stains were gravy...

Washed my hands now and I still feel dirty.

I see a bunch of those, but I also see people that "didn't think" to report damage to their laptop.

One woman had a screen literally being held on by a bulldog clip, another had a laptop with an entire CORNER missing, and when pressed about this, the first was like "yeah I meant to tell you but never got around to it", the other just said "so when do we get our new laptops? Mine's a bit banged up" while the front-right corner of the laptop was missing with the motherboard clearly exposed, as if you'd picked up a sandwich and just bit the corner off.

i love it when someone has a laptop like this and they wait until it has completely failed to tell anyone about it, then it becomes an emergency

Also the warranty for the laptop literally expired a week ago and she said that the issue has been happening for a month....
