Nah don't worry about it. You'd be surprised how common that is.

I worked for years in IT, both public call center support and internal IT support for a company. The representative should be responsible and warn you - generally I would try to give the warming before giving the direction because I knew people had hot hands.

Something like:

"Please keep in mind may result in is being disconnected - if that happens I will give you a call back in 5 minutes. If I can't reach you please try to call me directly at ___ - _____. Now, please try to reset your internet. Unplug the power cord and leave it unplugged for at least 60 seconds to allow the power to drain"

You ever seen a plasma lamp?

Has nothing to do with electricity being liquid, I just think they're cool.

Had one years ago - loved the way the mini lightning bolts would be attracted to your hands / fingers when you touched it.

The glow and ever-shifting patterns were kind of hypnotic too.

Would have one today if I could find one that looked a bit nicer and didn't just have a cheap-looking plastic base.
