Right Click Please

Tech Support: “Now I want you to click the right mouse button over the [ISP] icon.”
Customer: “Yep.”
Tech Support: “Did a menu appear with ‘Properties’ being listed at the bottom?”
Customer: “No! It just says [ISP], and there’s two buttons, ‘Connect’ and ‘Cancel’.”
Tech Support: “Ok, let’s just try again. You must have double clicked using the left mouse button. No problem, just click ‘Cancel’. Now, I’d like you to click the button on the right of the mouse, not the left, and I’d like you to click it only once.”
Customer: “Now it says ‘Create Shortcut Here’!”
Tech Support: “Ok, click on ‘Cancel’.”
Customer: “Left or right button?”
Tech Support: “Left, please.”
Customer: “Now what?”
Tech Support: “Ok, let’s just try this again.”
Customer: “All right then, one last time.”
Tech Support: “Right, ok, please click the right mouse button over [ISP] and please try and keep the mouse still when doing so.”
Customer: “Which button is the left button?”
Tech Support: “Not the left button!”
Customer: “Which one’s that?!”
Tech Support: (groan, sigh, urgh)
Customer: “Oh, never mind. ‘Properties’ is listed.”

From then on, everything went fine, but on a future visit to the client’s office, we discovered multiple shortcuts all over the desktop, files placed anywhere and everywhere, and the entire system in general disarray.
