mohqas wrotewell, we always loved to do this stuff with the compu stores ! Some of them:
1- hello sir, yesterday I was playing on my computer and suddenly the colors on my screen are gone ! it was all black and white, so do u have ink to fill my screen colors again ?
2- benjeeb computer men el 3asr el 7ajary o ben2olo , this pc doesn't run some game ! Plz check it if it has a virus.
3- we buy a keyboard then switch the buttons on it (like o with a), and then return it the next day to tell him i press on the a button but i get o on the screen .. and when he tests it, and he wants to type a, he actually presses the o button location ! i mean, who the hell doesn't know where an a button is !
actually at one point, i was using 5 different keyboard layouts both azerty and qwerty, it as a nightmare!
In no layout, is the O found next to the left caps lock...!

some of my friends say that they have MP6 and pentium 5 CPUs which are far more powerful than Core2...could be true ....rofl
Ok, get this, sitting in class at uni, have my laptop open and so does the doctor, neither of us are able to connect(wireless) to the net, so i go to restart the router maybe that can fix it, i do it and come back, i tell him: i figured out the problem, the access point only has 4 ports. HE AGREES. Minutes later my friend is unable to connect again, so he asks the doctor whats going on, he tells them, didnt u hear, it only has 4 ports so IT MUST BE FULL, YOU NEED TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO LOGOUT SO U CAN LOGIN

now this is a guy with a phd in artificial intelligence


i work at a local newspaper office, i noticed that one employee constantly prints stuff out and brings it to the editor, and they both have computer and i have already sat up a wireless network in the office, so i go and create a shared folder and explain to him that if u put the documents here, it will magically appear at the other end. IT TOOK ME AN HOUR TO EXPLAIN TO HIM THAT HE CANT DO IT FROM HOME, finally i gave up and created virtual disk on both end that ftps stuff to the server

I was trying to explain to a friend of mine at uni how to use the CMD, he insisted that i put a shortcut on his desktop cause he thought it was to confusing to use RUN, and yeah he's a CS major second year. He also had me explain to him how he can download stuff off the internet, next week i saw him and he had downloaded the full season of CAPTAIN MAJEID and Adnan w lina

you wanna talk about stupid comments i got loads
a person told me today " windows 7 is still in beta phase right ? "
well the opposite happened to me before it was released they said that a new windows has been released and it was really in beta phase.
The only person who said ridiculous stuff about pc that i consider off is myself during teenage years.

I just can't stop laughing at myself when I first made a free hosted forums and claimed iwas totally awesomez0r
Also, a funny story :

In our spanish courses, we used pcs . And since it's a modified ubuntu by the school , they made this system to override all the pcs with one click.

So I open up a cmd page , and start pinging an ip adress ( for no reason ) , so the spanish teacher comes and tells me : "what are you doing ? "

Me having no clue , told him that I was trying to hack the core of the ubuntu system.

So he was impressed and everything, and told me : " Well , I guess everyone is good at what they know ..." ( with a really impressed like attitude)

Yup, never under estimate human stupidity.

Yeah, they are surely experienced users :P , I don't think they even deserve to be named as users, they should at least know what they are using.
i remember this was quoted by Einstein ?
Albert Einstein wroteTwo things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe

i have a funny story:

a couple of years ago, my neighbor bought a new desktop for his three kids to play games (their ages 15,17,18) and he asked me to install some games for them and teach'em a couple of things, so i installed a couple of games including GTA San andreas which is a large game, a couple of days later they called me and asked me to check why is their hard disk low on space.
They had a very small hard disk...BUT what these guys did was that they decided that each one should have his own games and they should not play with each others games, so i found 3 new folders on the desktop where each kid copied the games that he liked from its directory to his own folder.
So they ended up having 3 copies of GTA and the list goes on.......

Lesson to be learned: when u dont want people to share your games or programs, just copy them to the dekstop into ur own folders.

Hilarious! hehe

Here is a recent story that happened with me 2 days ago:

I was sitting in the computer lab at uni and next to me was a girl, she was spending time on facebook (browsing photos, commenting, playing stupid games etc...) the lab was becoming crowded more and more as the time passed by and it was hot in the room so I went to the administrator and asked him if he could turn on the AC. He did turn on the AC, and after like 5 min the temperature was better, the girl next to me realized that her facebook pages were not loading as fast as they were 30 minutes ago(because more and more people were using the internet in the lab at that time of course) but look how she "diagnosed" the problem:

She looked at me and said: "ouf, look how slow the internet is, they turned on the AC and it slowed down!"

I was going to throw myself out of the window that day... :P
Better throw the girl out in my opinion and tell her:
"They turned on the AC, so you get thrown out" which does make a bit of sense; and opens a lot of questions :)
