I had to walk across campus to plug in a woman's monitor because she was irate that her PC wasn't working. To be fair she was very contrite afterwards. I think the cleaning person knocked it out.
I love the ones that won't even look when you ask them if something is unplugged. 'Of course it's plugged in, what kind of idiot do you think I am?' A big flaming one, cause when I instead say 'Hey, sometimes those cables come loose without looking like it, can you try unplugging it and plugging it back in?' every. single. person. answers with 'Oh hey, it wasn't plugged in at all!' I know, dumbass, and as unamused as I am by the fact that you called me before checking the absolute basics, I am even less amused by the fact that I had to circumvent your idiocy to get you to tell me what the actual situation is.
A sign of high intelligence is a willingness to admit you don't know everything and to admit when you are wrong.
