Oldies vs Computers
As someone who is "good with computers" I get a lot of calls from people who've got problems. Some of them even have problems with their computers.
Back many years ago working for a telecoms company, I was called to a senior secretary who "had put a disk into the drive and couldn't get it out". She had one of the first Mac II machines with two drive slots. But only one drive.
Opening up the case revealed stacks of floppy disks that she'd been posting through the hole in the case for weeks. She'd only decided there was a problem when her boss wanted one of them back...

My mate is a twat
While using my computer a mate of mine noticed i had downloaded some software (through legitimate sources i assure you), he asked if he could borrow a blank CD and copy it for himself, I said yes and he burned the disk.
The next day he's back at mine saying "your disks are shite mate!, tried it last night, when i double clicked it nothing happened", i put the disk in my PC and it turns out the reason it never worked, He had just burned the desktop icon to disk.
He replied "I did wonder why it only took up 3kb of space on the disk"
