Sorry I just need vent this before I explode with laughter
I work in an IT department in a uni and this woman just called up askng for help getting video files of her flip digital video camera. No problem I said you can just drag and drop the files it works like a usb pen.

She bought her laptop down and I gently showed her what to do.

"How did you do that" she suddenly snapped
"I haven't done anything" I replied
"Yes you did you made that move, that bit how did you do that"

Turns out her problem was that she didn't know you could move windows around the desktop and she presumed anything covered up by another window was inaccessible. Using computers is a big part of her job and she's been here years and never learned how to use a mouse.

Can I laugh yet?

I sometimes wonder
how these people make it out of their homes in the morning.

"I'm stuck in the house!"
