On the phone to a financial institusion about why I can't log in to their website.

Them: "What browser are you using?"

Me: "Firefox"

Them: "Can you try using Google Chrome?"

Me: "No"

Them: "Okay I can help you so if you go to goog-"

Me: "It's not that I don't know how, it's that I won't use Google Chrome."

Them: "We only support Google Chrome."

Guess who just closed their account and transferred their money elsewhere?
