IgnoranceI once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen. We've asked this before but liked it so much we're asking again: What's the best example of ignorance you've encountered?

HOW DID YOU GET A JOB IN A FUCKING OFFICE???1) Had a girl here write shit loads of stuff in excel and then add it up by hand. Then enter the results.
2) Watched another copy and paste each cell out from excel and put it into word. then tab out all the columns.
3) Anything I code.
4) The Mrs. hanging up washing walking back and forth to the basket instead of bring it with you as you work along the line. Stops her getting fat I guess.
5) People answering with examples of stupidity rather than ignorance.
