U meet a few of these?

(I think I've met some of these people....hehe)

My neighbor works in the operations department in the main office of a large bank where he works. Employees in the field, at branches, call him when they have problems with their computers.

One late afternoon he got a call from a woman in one of the branch banks who had this question: "I've got smoke coming from the back of my terminal. Do you guys have a fire in your main Bank downtown?"

Police in Sioux Falls, SD. interrogated a bank teller suspect by placing a metal bowl on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and the detective pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the teller confessed.

Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that one could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. "We no have half dozen nuggets," said the young man at the counter. "You don't?" I replied. "We only sell six, nine, or twelve," was the reply. "So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?" "Correcto!" So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets.

I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those "dividers" that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the divider," looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code she said to me, "Do you know how much cost this " I said to her "I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that today." She said "OK," and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what had just happened.

A young secretary in our office was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was trying to use the ATM "thingy" but her PC was not accepting her ATM Card !

I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. "Do you need some help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery in this remote door unlocker on my key ring. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?"

Last year, we had an Hi-Tech PC Intern from India, who was none too swift. One day she was typing, using MS Word, and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost out of printer paper. Now what do I do?"

I was in a car dealership a last, when a large motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister."

I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the Mexican driver had set the "cruise control" and then went in the back of the motor home to make a sandwich.

A mother called 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needed to take her kid to the emergency room, because the kid had ‘eaten ants' and was becoming very blue in color.

The dispatcher told her to give the kid some Benadryl and it should be fine. The mother then said "I just gave him a big dose some Ant Killer stuff to swallow... and now he is turning blue. . ."

The Dispatcher replied: "Rush him to the nearest emergency room - right now!"

Life is tough enough . . . !

But, it's much tougher for many others . . . !
