"People never cease to amaze me". 

 The frequent question I have been asked : "Is the network running slow today?"  My immediate response is usually "Yes, it had a late night..."

Something that happens to me frequently, a friend asked me if the mail server is down.  her deductive reasoning is always "I didn't get any e-mail this morning / the last hour / since yesterday".  She believes that it is more likely that the mail server is down than they didn't have any e-mail (not because of an actual error!). Next other friend emailed me for help one morning.... "Help, my email is not working."  Oh God….

 A last good one

On day I had a friend receive an email that our anti-virus promptly quarantined.  she was frantic, "I must have that email!" I said "I'm sorry, it has a virus.  You'll have to contact the sender who sent it, have her clean her computer of virus's and resend it". She said to me "Can't you just turn off anti-virus long enough for me to get this email?"… Umm…all about computer skills!!!

I was asked this question in an interview by my manager: Can you give me 10 other usages of a metal hanger. the job was for an IT product testing.

a few years later, I actually asked my manager, why he asked that question. He said:" I just want to see how quick you can think." he actually amazed me.
