The most over-priced computer repair

The most over-priced computer repair was carried out on the 11^th November 2004, when Barry Quigley, a computer repairman from Wellington, New Zealand, charged $437.68 for removing a piece of Ham and Pineapple pizza from the CD-drive of Marty Halland’s PC.

“I feel sorry for him,” said Quigley at the time, ”but hopefully this will make him remember which appliance does what job. A month ago he asked me to defragment his dishwasher, and I had to charge him $25 for the call-out charge.”

Quigley took several photographs of the opened computer, explaining later that,

"I mean, come on! After pizza in the CD tray, I had no idea what else he had done to it, and I wasn't about to leave, I don't know, a goldfish on the motherboard, and have him say I put it there or something later.'"
