This is a question Ignorance

I 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?

Ignorance
There are so many...
...The lady who tried to use her pc mouse by picking it up and rolling it on her face
...The developer who destroyed his PC by removing the memory whilst it was still running.
...The Server team Manager, brought in from another team, whos' IT training extended to using a pocket calculator.
...The salesperson who called helpdesk, furious that his laptop had stopped working after driving over it in his car.
...the security manager who infected his own team with a couple of trojans.
Do I wish I were joking? you bet... We used to call these "UTS issues; "User Too Stupid".
