Internet cafe lacky
I work in an internet cafe - so you can imagine what idiots come in, but some of the highlights :-

me - "...So, just click on the 'Start' button in the bottom left hand corner... No, left... left... There, that button... No, that's explorer shortcut... The button with start written on it! NO, THAT BUTTON" ad-inifinitum

Customer - "Hey, this international calling card isn't connecting me to Zimbarbway (or however the hell it's spelt)"
me - "OK, let me just have a look at the card... America first eh? well, it doesn't have Zimbarbway on the poster, I guess you have used it before though?"
Customer - "Well, I know that it doesn't connect NOW don't I? Give me a different one"
me - "...?"

Customer - "My computer is making weird noises, and it's not reading my floppy disk"
me - "OK, erm... You don't appear to have a floppy disk inserted..."
Customer - "YES I DO! DO YOU THINK I'M STUPID?! IT'S IN THE TRAY THINGY!"
me - "...!"

Customer - "How much is it for internet access?"
me - "50p every five minutes" (yes we are expensive)
Customer - "So, how much is it for half an hour?"
me - "er... £3 sir..."
Customer - "I see, what about 15 minutes?"
me - "..."
ad-infinitum

I hate my job...
