* Customer: "My mouse doesn't work any more."
* Tech Support: "Is it an optical or ball mouse?"
* Customer: "Huh?"
* Tech Support: "Does it have a ball or light?"
* Customer: "It has an light on top."
* Tech Support: "On top?"
* Customer: "Yeah. It was underneath before, but it looks better when it's on top."
* Tech Support: "Ok, try turning it around so the light points down on the desk."
* Customer: "Oh! It works!"

I work in the IT department of a local hospital. One night at 3am, I got a call that one of the PCs in reception had been shut down, and they couldn't switch it back on. I described how to power it up over the phone, but it was no use. So I drove in, walked up to the PC, and pressed the little gray button on the front.
* Receptionist: "How did you do that???"
* Me: "I just switched the power on."
* Receptionist: "Ah well, we're not as computer literate as you."
