Why can’t my Mii be happy I’m a loser? – Nintendo’s Tech Support Forums

Trying out Windows Live Writer (Yahoo it if you want to download it). Found this awesome thread on Nintendo’s tech support forum regarding why your mii on your wii can’t be permanently happy:sad-mii

Turn off sad face on Wii sports - Wii Games - Nintendo's Tech Support Forums

(Windows Live Writer and my findings are uncorrelated though there is causation.)

Tech Support Sadness

Below are some of the sad scenarios my friend Alex has had to endure while providing tech support to a city office that shall remain unnamed.

E-mail Fail 1

Customer: “I haven’t got an e mail in 2 days, fix it.”

Alex: “Have you tried sorting by date and not subject?”

E-mail Fail 2

Customer: “I haven’t been getting email”

Alex: “Your groups are collapsed.”

Computer Dyslexia

Customer: “My CDs don’t fit in the tray. They fit for everyone else but not me.”

(Alex doesn’t know what to do, thinks maybe she has a zip drive or is trying to put a CD in the floppy drive, even logs into the machine remotely)

Alex: “I’m going to send a tech to look at your box.”

(Alex goes with the tech to investigate. She had her computer upside down.)

Keyboard Dyslexia

Customer: “My screen is upside down”

Alex: “Okay, we need you to log in to your computer”

Customer: “I can’t, I can’t read upside down”

Alex: “Is your keyboard upside down?”

Customer: “No”

Alex: “Then type it like you normally would.”
