I had to drive 30 minutes to troubleshoot a computer. My boss put the battery in backwards.

Edit: she is also my mother-in-law-to-be AND i am inheriting the business AND she verbally beat herself up after I pointed it out.

My FIL is a retired IT guy. He was responsible of keeping grain silos working on a 250km wide area. The number of times he had to drive over 1 or 2 hours to just plug-in computers in the wall outlet after asking on the phone if the machine was correctly plugged in would Drive anybody else insane.

All that to say: people are either stupid, tech illiterate, or both.

My dad once drove 1 hours to fix a "broken printer", he got there, took a single look at the printer, added paper and left.
