Stupid CoWorkers

March 1, 2006

I had a colleague who was very messy. Half of his cubicle was a pile of junk that reached to the top of the cubicle. Whenever he wanted something, he would rummage through all the stuff, throwing things aside until he found it. One day I asked him to find a computer file for me that I’d erased by mistake. It was taking him a while, so I went to look over his shoulder. His desktop was an exact duplicate of his cubicle. It had a massive pile of icons in one corner, and he was furiously rummaging through them to uncover the right file.

I had a job at my local school board doing on-site technical support. We had just recently replaced all the Macintosh machines with Windows NT machines. While showing one of the secretaries the Windows environment, she asked where all of her icons were. I pointed to the two columns of icons on the left side of her screen.

Her: “Yes, but on my Mac they were all over here on the right.”

Me: “Well, by default, Windows arranges the columns on the left side.”

Her: “But I’m right handed!”

“““““

A woman was reporting her car as stolen, and mentioned

that there was a car phone in it. The policeman taking

the report called the phone and told the guy that answered

that he had read the ad in the newspaper and wanted to buy

the car. They arranged to meet, and the thief was arrested.

When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home

parked on a Seattle street, he got much more than he

bargained for. Police arrived at the scene to find an

ill man curled up next to a motor home trying to steal

gasoline and plugged his hose into the motor home’s

sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle

declined to press charges, saying that it was the best

laugh he’d ever had.
