If only we could hire someone to do the first couple of weeks of new-FTP workouts for us!
Every Monday night… 
When doing IT support back in the early 90’s I was shocked when a user actually asked me where the key was.
Had another user didn’t realise you could lift the mouse when you ran out of desk space and was using hand held books level with the desk top to travel further on the screen.
Another use asked why is my mouse not going up the screen when I push forward. She was holding the mouse at an angle.
These are classics!
But best question I’ve heard FROM IT support was when a friend of mine complained that pdf-printer was not working, “have you checked there’s paper?” the IT support asked. What can you say 
I asked my dad how he knew the washing machine is irreparable. He said he had to open the door with a crow bar.
Off topic I know. But sometimes he wants to help me with bike maintenance 
There’s a brilliant quote (I forget where I heard it 
) but it goes:
‘remember son, I taught you to use a spoon. To feed yourself.’
Off-topic. During university I had a year working for one of the major oil companies helping with the development of oil and gas detection equipment for oil rigs (accidental on-platform releases that might lead to a fire). The circuit boards were being made by a subcontractor. On a conference call my colleague asked if the boards had been soak tested. There’s a delay, then the response: “But they won’t work underwater”

I’ve been archiving my memes in this Instagram account. Sorry for the shameless self promotion 
i worked with a guy who was IT… He kept getting called in to a company for a printer that did not work. He reloaded the paper … worked fine.
MULTIPLE Calls on this.
Alas, so many of those stories are true.
LOL back in the 90s I was in technical sales for a company that sold modeling tools, and the deep space probe radio communications group from Jet Propulsion Labs came in for training. On first day of class we did a round of introductions, and the theoretical PhD dude said his work only involved paper and blackboard and he had never used a computer. He then picked up the mouse, and said “Kirk to enterprise” 
Sorry if posted above. Got this from my GF and got a laugh…
we’re here for you if you need to talk in a group workout.
Off topic. I walked into a meeting room with a user holding the Ethernet cable and asked if this was the cable they needed for the wireless
