Mouse problems... after being thumbtacked to the wall
A retail clothing chain based in San Francisco with buying offices
in NYC. Shortly after getting new computers in the buying office, one
of the buyers complained that the mouse didn't work on his new
computer.
We sent him a new mouse - that again didn't work, and another
one that again didn't work.
My boss decided that someone needed to fly
to NYC in person and see what the problem was.
When I met the buyer he
immediately started in about how the new monitor took up space on his
desk - so in order to gain back desktop space he used a big push-pin
thru the cable to pin the mouse to a cork-board when he wasn't using it
and it always stopped working after that.
