Patient tech support guy outmaneuvers a tedious Karen who insists he explain every single step of troubleshooting: '[So] I explain the obvious'

Never underestimate the patience of an hourly employee.

Although being on the clock means we may be counting down the minutes, regardless of an hourly employee's interactions at work, they're still getting paid for their time. The tech support guy in our next story proved that your hours are paid even if a regular phone call takes 10x as long.

After hopping on a service call with a woman concerning her computer malfunctions, the original poster of this story (OP) was prepared to do whatever he could to help her fix her tech problems. However, after retorting with a snarky attitude and unwarranted malice, OP was more than a little peeved. He was here to help!

After being verbally accosted by the snooty Karen, he decided to drag out the conversation as much as possible, maliciously complying with her insistence on explaining every single detail–and I mean, every… single… detail. Keep scrolling to read this satisfying tale of malicious compliance where an hourly employee cashes in on the world's longest service call.
