When ineptitude becomes comedy one can't help but be amused. It's an incredulous, bewildered, dumbfounded, head-shaking kind of amused, but amused nonetheless.
Even as I watch the Keystone Cops run this office into the ground, I laugh and I laugh. What else can I do? :clownsmilie: |

A student was in T's office and I told E: I think it's really nice of Scatman Crothers to stop in to talk to T for a while. (He sounded like him.)
Blank look. Well, she's young. Then M (aka self-proclaimed end-all be-all expert on all things pop culture) comes along. He'll get it. Blank look. WHAAAAAAA? Hong Kong Phooey? The Shining?

You can tell a person's age by whether they try to give you detailed directions to an address...

True.
Reminds me of a very recent story. Our new neighbor (young guy) was leaving his parents house in upstate New York, near Albany, after a trip to pick up some furniture, and decided to rely on their GPS to get him back to DC. It took him due north initially, and he thought that was curious but decided to follow the directions because he thought it might know a better route. After driving for two hours deep into Vermont, he decided to look at a real map, because it just seemed wrong. The GPS had taken him in basically the opposite direction and he had to retrace his route, adding 4 hours to his trip. |

Yes or QC, Quebec
User error seems most likely, since it was a device he wasn't familiar with. |

re gps, young driver, unfamiliar territory...
Eldest son was gifted a new to him truck a couple years ago, here in Washington. He was understandably excited, and was looking forward to driving back to school in New York. We met at a coffee shop on his way back east at about mile one. I bought breakfast, checked in with him about the state of the truck, etc. He was undertaking this cross country trip with ample, no, a superabundance of confidence and enthusiasm. This was good, except it didn't make much room for, you know... reality. I followed him to the nearest gas station where I filled up his tank, bought a few quarts of oil and an atlas. He'd intended to take this trip with his iPhone as his only map.  What if the battery dies? What if you sit on it and crack it? What if what if what if, etc. Here. Take this map. Do it for me, please. He did, bless his heart, and he made the trip ok (one call for towing and another call for a failed ignition switch/steering column repair). I don't remember getting a call about being lost though.
