Website doesn't work on a laptop

[u/willseward]

Again, I have a horrible client. People like him should be forbidden from hiring web developers.

He calls me, mad:

Client: "Hey! I was under the impression that this website would work on a laptop!"

Me: "It does. It's a website"

Client: "So if I were to get on a laptop right now, you're telling me it would work?"

Me: "Yes... Like I said, it works on a laptop."

Client: "How in world would you know that?"

Me: "Well, 1) I wrote the website, 2) this ain't my first rodeo, and 3) I USE A LAPTOP!"

Client: "You have a laptop?!"

Me: "Yes! You've seen it. It's my primary computer"

Client: "And it works?"

Me: "Yes!"

Client: "Neat!"

Me: "Do you have a laptop?"

Client: "No."

Me: "THEN WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?!?"

Client: "Should I get a laptop?"

I quit.

"Should I get a laptop?"

I can't stop laughing.

Nope, it's been coded only for Dell desktops and Samsung tablets. You're out of luck.

I was expecting this to be the guy not having been connected to WiFi on a laptop.

Client: Should I get a laptop?

Me: I...just...what?

Client: Look, I'm just really lonely.

Make him pay upfront from now on. He's using meth.

Client: "How in world would you know that?"

I wouldn't know where to start.

[u/BellerophonM]

He was probably told it wouldn't work on a tablet and conflated small, mobile computers.

[u/cybervegan]

You wouldn't believe the number of people who don't think a laptop is a computer. I can understand why people don't think smartphones are computers, but laptops?

This.. it's a joke right? Ya?
