(I was reading some hilarious exchanges between customer and employee on www.notalwaysright.com, when it occured to me that these things often do happen here as well. So I thought I'd share something of the sort that happened some years back)
This PC at the admin area was used to mostly type letters; the rest of the work was done manually.
One day while I was at my desk a co-worker (about 22 years, male) called me about some problem with the admin PC, so I went to see what was wrong. He was sitting in front of the monitor eyes wide open as if something terrifying appeared on screen. But it was only an error message asking to press ALT+F2 to continue, so I told him to do that and started walking towards my department when he yelled that it was not working. I thought maybe the PC was stuck or something and asked him to press ALT+F2 again, now I was standing right behind him when he proceeded to press the ALT key , "F" key and 2 on the numeric keypad or numpad.........
This is when I found out almost everyone at the office was not computer literate.
I tried A+L+T+F+4 once.
ReplyDeleteand I thought I wasn't computer literate. Now I feel so much better. :p
ReplyDeleteanonymous: haha ..sorry .. hard to imagine but i know that could be an honest mistake
ReplyDeletebluebooze: don't worry there are still people who move their keyboards out of the way just to have room as big as their monitors so they could move their mouse pointers across the screen.
Good, good.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the intel.
