The computer illiterate told me I couldn't be a good computer repair guy so they were going to pass on my application. I responded by asking him, 'How would you know ? You have misused computer terms throughout this interview.". I then suggested he get a computer dictionary and read it before his boss found out he wasn't the computer expert he pretended to be. My siblings suggested to me thats why I don't get hired. I suggested I didn't want to work for stupid people.
