As a customer myself, I hate when I call tech support and this is the first thing that thy ask me lol

OMG, i hate that. Or when they say unplug it and plug it back in, omg I already tried that. That's why I am calling you.

This meme is so funny because this is exactly how I feel when this is suggested to me

You have to add the "I hate to ask" to let them know you don't want to ask just as much as they con't want you o

I've actually had customers tell me how they tried it before and it didn't work but it works when they are on the phone with me

It's the customer support touch

Hahaha! This hits way too close to home. Sorry not sorry.

I feel so attacked! That's my default response. Hahaha

I feel so guilty. But it works, right? Tell me it does. Lol

Well, that's the first thing I do when I lost my patience. Turning it off and back on is the first thing that tech support will tell you ad you know what? It works most of the time.

I’m interested in pursuing cosmetic dermatology (possible Botox and laser treatment) for the first time. I’ve done a ton of research and the derm I’m most interested in going to charges a $150 consult fee but does NOT apply that cost to any treatments you get, whereas from my research it seems like derms in my city usually do apply the consult fee to the treatments. Would you pass on her due to that additional cost, or consider it worth it to see the derm you want to see?

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.
