How much stupider can people get?

So yesterday we were having trouble with a network app so I rebooted the server which obviously disconnects everyone for about 10 minutes. Woman comes in today and she's got nothing on her monitor, mouse isn't working, etc. I tell her the problem has long been fixed and nobody's computer was affected by anything. She thinks out loud to herself....I shut my computer down....She says to me "you mean when I shut down my computer it actually turns off?". hello?

It's kind of sweet that you are still capable of being surprised by people's stupidity.
 
We had a CONTRACTOR for a bank which my company has a direct connection with. I'm telling him which router commands to run. I tell him to run a show configuration command and he looks at me like what? So I tell him to type in sh "space" config. He types in the word space. He was supposed to be their expert!!
 
I was sitting in the cafetaria at Hewlett Packard as a summer job and I was by a door to the outside tables and it was locked, the conversation I heard was as follows.

Lady walks to the door and tries to open it repeatedly

Older guy: "door dont open"

Older lady: "door dont open"

Older guy: "door dont open"

Older lady: "hmm, door dont open"
 
some people just aren't as smart as us EFers

Oh god...people are so fuckin stupid when it comes to computers. mostly the baby boomer age and older people.

I worked for a company guiding people through adding computers to their in-store network for a summer.....god it was so frustrating. I would spend hours trying to fix a problem and come to find out they just didn't bother to plug their network cable into the jack...or people who didn't understand the concept of windows. Like I would say "close this window" and they wouldn't know what I was talking about :mad:
