1) During a meeting yesterday to discuss issues at hand, a manager blurts out to me "Hey, I don't have an X: drive anymore!"
Without a beat, a reply "Have you tried Viagra?" It literally took ten minutes for the laughter to die down- man, you only get a zinger like that once in a life time
2) A user got mad at me because our SMTP server wouldn't accept his 49 FREAKIN' MEGABYTE attachment. He scanned a picture and was trying to send it to another office, not understanding anything about resolution and image quality. I kept giving him different options and ways to send it other than email, but he wouldn't hear of it- he thought I was just "too lazy to fix a problem" as he put it. He slammed down the phone, came over to my building, and stormed into my supervisor's office. I heard my supervisor yelling at him saying something about "he was getting angry over a concept he obviously doesn't understand" and actually assigned him to computer classes at the university. Bwaaahahahahaahahahaa!!!!!! He had to walk past my desk on the way out too
