that's ok, I just got asked to "fix a scanner" because it wasn't working (I am not IT/tech support fwiw, I'm a temp)

I walk over, turn on scanner, problem solved

meh, not rly. Reading an email too fast =/= idiot.

Explaining something simple to someone 5 times, they can't get it, [censored] it up in multiple ways multiple times, make you look like [censored] and still don't get it? Now that's dumb.

If this is your idea of dumb in the office, I feel sorry for you. You have no idea what you are in for as life goes on.

randomly,

anytime someone asks you "are you good with computers?" you can be sure that some terrible and spectacular display of stupidity is right around the corner...

The guy is probably over 40, those people can't go anything. Or maybe he's just fat, those people suck too.

oh oh oh, and then that same person finally gets it. Does it right after 6 times. Tells you they understand. Then does it again next month and makes the same [censored] mistake. then you go through the same process every month.

morons. I guess there are different types of dumb.

carelessness is one.
lack of the ability to learn is another
no attention to detail another (I guess this is kinda like carelessness)
social/political dumbness

The owner of one of our branches didn't know how to scroll up or down on a page. Afterwards he didn't know that he could scroll left or right either.

Yeah, there are lots of idiots at work but this guy probably just made an honest mistake. There are lots of numbers and such in that email. It made my head hurt.

Best email of the work day (the idiots part is not that it was sent, but that it was critical that it be sent):

Apparently the popcorn for sale in the first floor vending machine burns very easily in the microwave and gives off odors of burned corn and burned plastic. This has been happening frequently in the past few weeks. Due to the ventilation flows on the first floor, the smell invades the office spaces on the floor.

Please follow the directions very carefully when popping. If you know how to successfully pop this stuff without burning it, please share your knowledge with others and post some instructions near the microwave.

A little care will help everyone keep their lunches down.
