Sometimes, people leave you wondering.

For example, take this story about a Redditor who works at a computer store, and how they met a customer who wanted a LOT of RAM.

Read the story below for more info.

Do you sell RAM?

So, I work in a computer store..

Customer: Do you have RAMs?

Such a simple question that will lead to such a strange reveal…

Me: Yes — what kind are you after?
Customer: Computer RAMs.
Me: DDR3 or DDR4?
Customer: RAMs?

They were patient in explaining.

Me: Does your computer take three or four?
Customer: Are they different?
Me: Yes. OK, how old is it?
Customer: Three years. Intel i5.
Me: Ok, so it’s probably three then. Desktop or laptop?
Customer: Desktop.

But then, they had to ask an important question.

Me: Great! OK, how large do you need it?

The answer this customer gave will rock every computer nerd’s world…

Customer: Big.
Me: Like…. 4 GB? 8 GB?
Customer: Do you have 128 GB stick?
Me: We…we do for servers… I’m not 100% sure your system will take it. Also, it’s certainly not in stock here. I’ll need to order it for you.
Customer: Oh… 64 GB?
Me: Based on what you’ve told me your computer can use 4 and 8 GB sticks. Does it have four slots..?

Aaaaand they went back to square one on this one.

Customer: Yes, I want lots of RAMs.
Me: Ok, well, I can do 4×8 GB at the most today. Anything else, I will need to order in for you after I get a quote.
Customer: Ok, I’ll go ask somewhere else for big RAMs.

Me: Ok, thanks. Have a good Christmas.

To top it off? This was ON A HOLIDAY.

I mean he was nice and polite, at least. But, what is he trying to do…this was on Boxing Day.

And by Boxing Day, I mean there are 20 people in a line making cranky faces. If he wanted a USB stick, he would have seen them on the way out. Sorry to all those here who feel I should have gone the extra mile, but it was hectic, and I needed to help the people that knew exactly what they wanted get their gear and get out fast.

Merry Christmas!
