Your standard luser
Last year I joined a helpdesk and having worked with various ISPs before I knew what I was letting myself in for (most of the time).

I was amazed one day to find myself attempting to trouble shoot a network printer problem. I had asked the user what she had done before the printer had stopped - she informed me that the printer hadn't started printing so she had clicked the print button a few more time for good measure.

I looked on the printer's queue and found she had indeed clicked print a few more times to the effect of nearly 100 jobs!

Of course I had to discipline her for being stupid mainly by making her feel like a complete worm!!!

I was also surprised when I worked for and ISP that this sweet old bloke with the best of intentions wanted to get "internet" through his TV - after hooting with laugher I advised him that it be best he visit a local store and get a computer first! Classic!
