Speaking about stupid people.....
sorry if its a repost.....
This is a true story from the WordPerfect helpline. Needless to say the helpdesk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the WordPerfect organization for "Termination without Cause". Actual dialog of the former Wordperfect Customer Support employee:
"Ridge Hall computer assistant; may I help you?"
"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
"What sort of trouble?"
"Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."
"Went away?"
"They disappeared."
"Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
"Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"
"How do I tell?"
"Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"
"What's a sea-prompt?"
"Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?"
"There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type."
"Does your monitor have a power indicator?"
"What's a monitor?"
"It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"
"I don't know."
"Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"
"Yes, I think so."
"Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."
".......Yes, it is."
"When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"
"No."
"Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."
".......Okay, here it is."
"Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."
"I can't reach."
"Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"
"No."
"Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"
"Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark."
"Dark?"
"Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window."
"Well, turn on the office light then."
"I can't."
"No? Why not?"
"Because there's a power outage."
"A power... A power outage? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"
"Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
"Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."
"Really? Is it that bad?"
"Yes, I'm afraid it is."
"Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"
"Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer."

^^-- I remember when that was a true story from Dell customer support.

Try working at Ford. There are alot of us now that work there, anywhere from 8-15 years seniority, that are fairly well educated. When we left school ( college and university) jobs were a little scarce and Ford had their "pick of the litter" for hiring. So most of the guys who were hired are at the upper end of the gene pool.
Try working with the mental capacity of a 12 year old. My partner is the stoopidest fawkin imbecile that ever walked the planet. And I tell him this to his face. He thinks I'm kidding and just laughs it off.
There are days I want a gun at work.

man speaking of stupid people, Honestly you really should come to my work for a few thousand laughs just in my shift in the mornings from 5 am - 1:30 pm........
you'd then get the drift as to what I go thru in a day, not only from customers, but from staff and management........ and for those that don't know, I work For Tim Horton's.

It takes all kinds, but there's all kinds of others we'd be much better off without.
There's a reason that ID 10 T and PEBKAC are uniquely IT jokes... because in reality they're far too true.
