This is a question "You're doing it wrong"

Chthonic confesses: "Only last year did I discover why the lids of things in tubes have a recessed pointy bit built into them." Tell us about the facepalm moment when you realised you were doing something wrong.

I am the deliverer of "You're doing it wrong" moments
I work as IT support in a school.

As the end of the school year approaches the teachers can no longer be arsed to do a lesson and have decided to shut the kids up with a film instead. I inevetably get called out to these lessons with with desperate cry of "The sound isn't wokring!" After a quick bet in my office, away I go.

I enter the room full of pupil disorder and encounter a teacher who is more wild about the eyes than normal. They stutter out their desperation at having no sound, turning to me as their savior. In response I calmly walk over to the speaker control unit, the one next to the sign saying "For audio please make sure this is set to channel 1."

Guess which channel I set the speakers to?

At least once a day for the past 2 weeks.

That’s your problem right there. If you ambulated while throwing in some body popping, or perhaps a couple of Norman Wisdom pratt falls they’d remember.
