Stupid Tech Support

I had a job at my local school board doing on-site technical support. We had just recently replaced all the Macintosh machines with Windows NT machines. While showing one of the secretaries the Windows environment, she asked where all of her icons were. I pointed to the two columns of icons on the left side of her screen.

Her: “Yes, but on my Mac they were all over here on the right.”

Me: “Well, by default, Windows arranges the columns on the left side.”

Her: “But I’m right handed!”

Stupid Criminals

A woman was reporting her car as stolen, and mentioned

that there was a car phone in it. The policeman taking

the report called the phone and told the guy that answered

that he had read the ad in the newspaper and wanted to buy

the car. They arranged to meet, and the thief was arrested.

Stupid Criminals

When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home

parked on a Seattle street, he got much more than he

bargained for. Police arrived at the scene to find an

ill man curled up next to a motor home trying to steal

gasoline and plugged his hose into the motor home’s

sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle

declined to press charges, saying that it was the best

laugh he’d ever had.

Stupid CoWorkers

I worked at Friendly’s last summer, and had the pleasure of working with some funny cooks, Terry and Mark. Mark and Terry were having a great time picking on the new guy, who was just out to please everybody. Anyway, Mark and Terry shouted for help, quick, because things were getting busy…Tommy came running, willing to do anything in a time of crisis. Terry told him to drop everything he was preparing and quick, get the broccoli peeler..it should have been hanging with the other utensils. It was the one with a green handle. When Tommy didn’t see it, he returned to Terry who said that it must be upstairs with the other seldomly used utensils. Tommy climbed up into the attic, and Mark instructed him to look in the boxes next to the skylight bulbs. When he couldn’t find a green handled utensil in any of the boxes, he gave up and returned to Terry again. Terry told him to never mind, just go get the keys to the parking lot and help Mark outside. Tommy willingly headed out the backdoor, stopping in the office to ask the me for the keys to the parking lot. I gave him an odd look, while Mark and Terry were standing behind him and laughing.

For those readers of your page as stupid (or gullible) as Tommy, here’s some clarification:

Who needs to peel broccoli?

Why would a skylight (a hole in the roof) need bulbs?

What do you need with keys to the parking lot?
