Stupid CoWorkers

I used to work at a large department store chain. One day after I had just clocked in, I noticed several of the customers entering the store began coughing violently and the front end manager began complaining of headaches. I paid no mind to any of this and headed to the back of the store. Five minutes later they called for an evacuation of the entire store. Two and a half hours after waiting in the parking lot, one of the firemen explained what had happened. Apparently one of our dumber co-workers, who had obviously had no knowledge of high school chemistry, had dumped ammonia and bleach down the drain of the food court. For those of you want to know, they combine to form cyanide gas. Needless to say, he was terminated shortly afterwards.

One night my son was playing a computer game while I was watching TV. I asked him to turn the sound down, and he did. After a short while he came over to watch TV with me. Every so often I would hear the engine noise of his game. I asked him to turn off the game. He did. I was still hearing the noise and told at him to turn it off. He said he had switched off the power to the PC, but I was still hearing the engine noise about once a minute. We went over to look. Sure enough, the computer was off, but the sound was still there. We unplugged the speakers. Didn’t help. We pulled out the batteries. Didn’t help. Then I realized it was my pager that had been sitting on one of the speakers.

We sell Texas Instuments graphing calculators, the kind you can synch with your computer to put simple programs onto them. A customer called up with a problem his kid was having. They had tried to download a couple programs to the calculator, but neither worked. After a bit more conferring, it transpired that they had tried to put Quake III and WinAmp on the thing.

I wonder how that kid thought he was going to listen to music on his calculator?

Customer: “Your sound card is defective and I want a new one.”

Tech Support: “What seems to be the problem?”

Customer: “The balance is backwards. The left channel is coming out of the right speaker and the right channel is coming out the left. It’s defective.

Tech Support: “You can solve the problem by moving the left speaker the right side of the machine and vice versa.”
