Bullet Points
Now technically this isn't someone I worked with, but it was the first time I realised that just because someone wears a suit doesn't mean they're not a complete spaktard.

This story takes place a good 6 years ago, maybe that makes a difference, maybe not.

Anyhoo a young, bright eyed, bushy tailed, Jezziah is going up to visit some cousins, so gets the train to Leeds where his uncle will pick him up. Unfortunately due to the times his uncle isn't off work yet so Jezziah has to go and sit in his office while he finishes up.

Said uncle runs an IT headhunting firm (no idea what it's called so don't bother trying to work it out) and is in work that day to give some people a little extra training. In word.

I'm sitting there, not a word of a lie, he explains to a couple of morons who should really know better that to make bullet points you have to click on the format then bullet and numbering menu. (I use open office now, so don't blame me if this isn't the exact way it works, it is on my comp)

It gets worse, trying to be helpful I pipe up "or you can just click on the bullet point icon" .... frosty silence ... uncle replies "which one is that?"

Oh dear, I'd just shown up my uncle infront of his workers in his fancy IT job, whoops! In my defence it is sitting right infront of you and if you're in that business you should REALLY know how to use a word processor.
