Sometimes you just have to wonder...
I saw a lady at work today putting a credit card into her floppy drive and
pulling it out very quickly. I inquired as to what she was doing and she
said she was shopping on the Internet, and they asked for a credit card
number, so she was using the ATM "thingy."

I worked with an individual who plugged his power strip back into itself and
for the life of him could not understand why his computer would not turn on.

1st Person: "Do you know anything about this fax-machine?"
2nd Person: "A little. What's wrong?"
1st Person: "Well, I sent a fax, and the recipient called back to say all
she received was a cover-sheet and a blank page. I tried it again, and the
same thing happened."
2nd Person: "How did you load the sheet?"
1st Person: "It's a pretty sensitive memo, and I didn't want anyone else to
read it by accident, so I folded it so only the recipient would open it and
read it."

I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. "Do you need
some help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery
in this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they
(pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery for this?"
"Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm, too?" I asked. "No, just this remote
'thingy,'" she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the
key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over
there and check about the batteries...it's a long walk."

Tech Support: "What does the screen say now?"
Person: "It says, 'Hit ENTER when ready'."
Tech Support: "Well?"
Person: "How do I know when it's ready?"

Several years ago we had an intern who was none too swift. One day he was
typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost out of typing paper.
What do I do?" "Just use copier machine paper," she told him. With that, the
intern took his last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the
photocopier and proceeded to make five blank copies.

I was in a car dealership a while ago when a large motor home was towed into
the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the
whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister." I asked the manager
what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the cruise control,
then went in the back to make a sandwich.
