Anyone who works in IT knows that these are all too real. Here are a few from the "special needs" folder in my ticketing system:
"Amy called and was looking for a file on Robin's H drive but was not sure what file it is."
"The fax machine does something weird every night around midnight. Is this suppose to happen?"
"Hi, I can't open this because my computer does not have a zip drive." (User had received a spam email from 'UPS' (cough) about a package they could not deliver, with instructions to open the attached zip file.)
"Peggy said that since the carpet has been replaced, her computer has been acting funny. She said that every morning she has to boot up the computer because it is turned off. I had her show me how she logged off and she went to start>shutdown and 'shutdown' was selected. I pointed out to her that this is the reason why she had to boot up everyday..."
Ok, I haven't researched this, but the fact that the jeans have a tag listing the size as "W 34 L 33" makes me seriously doubt the advertised age. I'd be surprised if that sizing method was in use 100 years ago.
Some of the questions on the eBay page are pretty funny: "Dear Sir, If I purchased these jeans from you, what type of detergent would you suggest using to get the wax off?"
Actually this idiot has been predicting this over and over for the last few years, moving the date or changing the meaning of the prediction each time it doesn't come true. It's amazing that he has any followers left when he's wrong EVERY SINGLE TIME. I would quote all the dates here, but I just don't care enough to spend the time :) You can read about it in Wikipedia.
I don't get it either... Unless it is the "awesome" thing, and like Miss Cellania said is funny to people who haven't been that involved with Christianity.
