LOL LOL I can totally relate. I have so many "close encounters of the idiot kind" that I've just lost count!LOL LOL
I'll share one of my most memorable encounters:
When I was in college, I would come home during the summer break and I was lucky enough to intern with Cummins Engine, every summer.
Anyway, the first summer I worked there, I would be put on simple help-desk calls if all the regulars were busy. So, a call came in about a lady having trouble with her mouse. They figured they would just have me go and look to make sure it was plugged in. It took me forever to find her, because she actually had an office down in "the basement" level of the building, directly beneath the cafeteria. I guess she was in charge of finance, or she dealt in some way with the money from the cafeteria, I guess. There was a big safe in her office too. So, I went in and looked at her and told her my name and said I was there to help with her mouse problem. She said ok, and moved from her seat so I could sit down. I was looking around, and didn't see the mouse anywhere. Puzzled by this, I looked at her and asked where it was. She pointed under the table. The mouse was on the floor under the table! Of course, I can't laugh and say...what the heck are you doing? So, I had to bite my lip and put the mouse on the desk, then I preceeded to show her how to use the mouse for about an hour!
I still can't believe that something like that actually happened, without it being a joke! LOL LOL
