What is the most absurd argument you found yourself having?

A machine was malfunctioning and gave an error code, so I called tech support. Tech support can do remote monitoring.

"We're not seeing any trouble with your machine."

"Well, it stopped running and gave me error-code ____"

"Sir, your machine should be working fine."

"... It's not, it stopped running."

"If your machine were malfunctioning, it would show an error code"

"It IS showing an error code"

"Sir, we are not seeing any errors with your machine, it should be running fine"

"Can I please get a technician out here?"

"Sir, your machine should be operating properly, you should not need a technician"

What were they thinking, I'm just making this shit up? Yeah I'm some lonely guy who calls tech support for no reason, that's just something I do.. It took me 25 minutes to get a service call placed, and the technician confirmed something was wrong with the remote monitoring.
