I had a client who thought their internet issues were caused by their cat sitting on the modem. After an hour of troubleshooting, I realized it was just a loose cable — though I did suggest they invest in a cat-proof setup for the future. Has anyone else encountered a funny tech dilemma like this?
I’ve had a client who was convinced their phone wouldn’t charge because of their pet parrot’s ‘bad vibes.’ Turns out, it just needed a good cleaning! Have you suggested any quirky solutions that ended up working out?
, I’ve faced similar head-scratchers! Just the other day, a client was convinced their Wi-Fi dropped because their kids were ‘draining the energy.’ Turned out, they had a major outage in the area. At least you could suggest some protective measures for that modem.
I once had someone claim their computer froze because their hamster was plotting against them — it turned out the power cord was just unplugged! Maybe a little hamster-proofing would help, too.
That reminds me, I had a client blame their slow Wi-Fi on their dog’s barking!
Maybe a good router upgrade could help them both.
Those cat-modem connections are real! Just last week, I had to remind a client about cable management after similar issues.
Ever think about using a cable organizer?
