I work in a snowboard factory. Every once in a while, we get kids that show up on their bikes, knock on the door, and ask, "Do you guys have, like any free snowboards?"

Yeah, they sell in the retail shops for $450, but let me go grab one for you for free...

I used to work tech support for a commercial music company, and I don't miss it... trying to troubleshoot stereo systems with the manager of a Gap store or something similar... they had trouble FINDING the stereo, never mind troubleshooting it.

Dave Jackson's one reminded me of a computer tech support call I heard about... guy calls up and says the cupholder on his computer is broken... tech can't figure this one out, finally has the guy explain EXACTLY what it looks like, guy says "...and it says 48X on the front of it..." the guy had been using his CD tray for a cupholder.
