Real
Stories of the Non-Technical (from comedy central)

 I called a company and asked to speak to Bob. The
person who answered said, "Bob is on vacation. Would you like to
hold?"

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

"Do you know anything about this fax-machine?"
"A little. What's wrong?"
"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."
"How did you load the sheet?"
"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 could open it and read
it."

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