We are in the middle of an Exchange migration. We sent out a message to all of our users telling them to verify that they could access the new webmail interface and change their randomly assigned temp password to match their domain password. These instructions said to login with the standard domain\username format. So far, we have gotten 3 calls from people who haven't made the connection that they should change username to their actual user name.

I can't tell you how many times I'll get a phone call from a professor after working on his computer complaining that it won't take his password and he can't log in.
"What does it say for user name?"
"administrator"
"You need to remove administrator and put in your username."
"Oh ok... whats my username?"
"Do you know your email address?"
"Yes."
"Your username what comes before the @ symbol in your email address."
"Ok.. now it works.. thank you"

That's exactly why we have ours set up to remove the name of the last person logged in. We all got tired of having our accounts locked by people who didn't realize that their username wasn't in the field anymore.

I had a friend in college who as asking me about this smoking hot guy I had introduced to her, and she said she liked his accent. "Where's he from?"
"New Jersey."
"No, I mean originally."
"New Jersey. Seriously."
She didn't believe me.

People who believe in, without any real physical evidence, supernatural beings like the Easterbunny.

I think the OP is looking for anecdotes of people you have encountered, not religous flamebait trolling.

You're a little touchy about the easter bunny aren't you?

He's my best friend.

LOL this is exactly the kind of story I'm talking about. Stuff that just makes you stare at the person and shake your head in disbelief.
