Stupid Stuff? Stupid People!

I was writing up an inspection report on a restaurant and noted a "dumb waiter" served the second and third floor. Steno pool secretary told me she didn't think it was nice to "call him dumb".
maybe he was knew to his job, or maybe having a bad day, you shouldn't be so quick to judge!
 
These are old (2010), but still good.

Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets.
I asked for a half dozen nuggets.
'We don't have half dozen nuggets,' said the teenager at the counter.
'You don't?' I replied.
'We only have six, nine, or twelve,' was the reply.
'So I can't order half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?'
'That's right.'
So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets
(Unbelievable but sadly true...)


When my wife and I were dating, 20+ yrs ago, we liked to eat at Buffalo's restaurants. Back then their hot wings were actually good and they sold them 6, 12 etc. It was a game we played by ordering 2 dozen, to see who would make the connection. My wife is an educator, and was always saddened buy the ignorance of the young people.
 
Year ago, when computers were still running DOS, I had a friend who worked for Dell. He tells the story that upon booting, the OS would frequently ask for the user to "press any key to continue." Fast forward a year and the programers had changed it to read "press the enter key to continue" because tech support was being inundated with calls from users who couldn't find the "any" key.

He also swears one of their support people fielded a call wanting them to replace the cup holder under warranty. Apparently this intellectual mountain top had been using the CD drive tray to hold his Big Gulp.
 
What was a "floppy disk?"
