    Oh heck. I can’t recall the number of times someone, even myself, has driven significant distances just to plug things in because users are to much of window lickers to understand what a USB cable looks like half the time.

    One of the funniest that I still regularly encounter is people who power cycle their monitor to reboot their computer. Not realizing that the monitor isn’t the computer itself…

    I mean, the list goes on and on and on for this kind of stupid shit. The kicker is that if you even fucking try to make them slightly less goddamned stupid about this shit, they don’t want to hear it.

    You’ll be taking at them and you might as well be taking to the fucking wall for all the good it will do.

      And you also have to manage politely telling them how silly they’ve been.

      Once got a ticket for “a broken DVD-drive”. Went on over. 'Twas a CD-drive.

      “Well what was the issue, why didn’t my DVD-drive work?”

      “Well if you look real close, this is actually a CD drive and thus incapable of reading DVDs”

      She took it well enough with humour. Some don’t…
