When in college, I had to make a fake advertisement for a class. I had a GIF that I downloaded that I wanted to put into it, so I sat down at the only Mac that was connected to the scanner in the school’s computer lab. For some reason, it couldn’t open the file, and the program crashed repeatedly. I got a lab technician to come over, and I explained the problem. She asked what I did to it and got angry with me. So I went to the Mac next to the one I was on and opened the picture in the same program. She told me in no uncertain terms that I was responsible for ruining the computer.
Me: “I scanned these pictures in, then tried to open this GIF I downloaded.”
Her: “What? You can’t do that! That type of a file is for Windows machines only! It isn’t supported on Macs.”
Me: “No, it is a standard graphic file. It can be opened on either machine.”
Her: “No it can’t! You might have to pay to fix this.”
Me: “If it can’t open on a Mac, how did I get it to open on this Mac right here? See?”
Her: “Don’t do that! You’re gonna break that one also.”
To protect her computer from evil me, she leaned over and flipped the power switch off.
