True story,
When i worked at a help desk at a software company i had a customer call in.
Customer: My monitor is not working, its just a black screen.
Me: Is there a light on the front of it.
Customer: yeah its green.
Me: Look on the front of the computer, do you see any lights on that.
Customer: No, none of the lights are on.
Me: See that big button in the center of the computer... Press it.
Customer: .... oh man.

I work in a calling center for a fleet management company. At the end of a call we give a work authorization number. For me it starts out with BNF followed by 5 numbers, I say," B as in Bravo, N as in November, F as in Fox trot" and then the 5 numbers, so they dont get confused with the letters over the phone.

This gal from Alabama tells me that 'Bravo November Fox trot' doesnt fit in her authorization screen. I tell her,"dont type the words, just the first letter of each word." She says, "I am new, I havent ever done this before, you were confusing me."
