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.

School IT teachers are always so clueless
We were in our break in the 6 form computer lab messing arournd when the IT teacher comes in and accuses us of vandalising the school server which was in a box on the wall we tell him we had nothing to do with it so he phones up the people who installed the server and tells them he thinks its been vandalised. he then listens on the phone
for a while then presses the on swich on the server and walks out.
