fandomhigh | Dealing With Stupid People [Monday, May 21]

When the students in the workshop arrived at the tables by the main campfire, they found them covered with phones.

"Welcome to the help desk!" Josh said, grinning proudly. "People are very stupid over the phone, especially when they know you can't see the expression on their faces. This is also why video conferences aren't as popular as regular conference calls--hiding your eyerolling is easier when, well, they can't see your eyes."

He waved his hands out. "Today you will be manning a help desk. I have ~~handwavily~~ put out posters to let people know that it's open during this class time, so the phones should start ringing any minute now. Your job is to answer the person's question in the most polite way possible without letting them know you think they are completely out of their minds."

"Coffee, muffins and bagels are available, answering their questions correctly is completely optional." Josh smirked. "Have fun."

[OOC: Phone lines are open for townies, students, and faculty members to call in. Josh has conveniently forgotten to specify what kind of help the students would offer. Ask for relationship advice, song requests, technical support, people to vote for or against bills in Congress, just to say hi...go nuts.

Prue was a little more curt in her answer after the conversation with the pirate. "Prue Halliwell, can I help you?"

"Yeah, I want my money back." Prank calls were like, so much fun!

Prue put her head on her desk. "And why do you want your money back?"

Annette blew air between her pursed lips, "Like you don't know! He was bald! Bald! I didn't ask for bald!"

"Did you specifically say you didn't want a bald man?" asked Prue. "You have to be specific."

"Man? I'm not talking about a man, I got a man! I don't need no man. Maybe you need a man. Do you need a man?"

She did but that wasn't the point. "Then what were you talking about?"

"Wellll, whatdoya think I'm talking about? I did call tech support. Says so right here on this card I'm looking at. TECH. SUPPORT."

"Well, I'm kind of useless when it comes to technology. Unless it's cameras." she said. She didn't even want to know how a bald guy factored into this.

"The microchip kind of fell out of him when I shook him to get him off of me. If you ask me, someone didn't put it in very good. It was gross. I want an exchange, Missy. An exchange and my money back. But I'm keeping the collar cause I like it."

"Oh you already used the product? Then I'm afraid you can't get your money back." said Prue, having no idea what she was talking about. "You tainted it."

"Granny ran over it."

"Your grandmother is on this island?" asked Prue. "I find that hard to believe."

"So do I since I think she's dead which isn't even funny you mean girl!"

"You think she's dead?"

"It's a possibility. I'm not home right now to check. And I try not to answer the phone when my parents call." Pause. "I hope you make cheerleader! Yay!"

Okay, now Prue cracked a smile. "Thanks, Annette."

Annette giggled, "I'm not even gonna ask how you knew. Have a great day, Prue! Bye!"
