This is a question Worst Person for the Job

In a week where it emerges that the new Health Secretary is a fan of the hocus-pocus that is homeopathy, tell us about people who are spectacularly out of their depth in a job. Have you ever found yourself wallowing in your own incompetence? Tell us. (Note: "Name of football manager/politician - nuff said" does not constitute an answer)

Sadly...
Turning it off and on again does fix 99% of computer related problems. Why people don't try it before speed-dialling the helldesk is beyond me.

Well aware of that...
I manage clinical IT systems and, when we get users ringing up with prpoblems, most of them go away (the problems, not the users) when we get the user to log out and log back in again.

And the problem was that, a couple of times, they'd say "switch it off and switch it back on again. has that fixed it? No? Okay, switch it off and switch it back on again. Has that fixed it?" repeatedly without atually offering any form of solution to the problem.
