People amaze me. From watching the political fiasco that is our government play out on the tube to the cluelessness(is that a word?) of folks in everyday life, I wonder how humanity ever managed to survive this long.
In my alter-ego(day job) I sit at a desk working for an internet sales company that shall remain nameless, selling light bulbs and ballast and answering silly questions. Most of the time the questions I field are simple, confusion over item numbers and different brand names or folks searching for some obscure item but occasionally a call comes in that leaves me scratching my head.
Just yesterday I had a fellow ask my how he was supposed to rewire his light fixture if he needed to turn the power off first. "I won't be able to see the wires if I turn the power to it off.", were his words. This is after he has already told me this is the only fixture in the room and it doesn't work. How hard is it to figure out you need an extension cord and another light fixture?
But the winner and still champion is the lady that said her plug-in light bulbs won't unscrew and the glass part broke off.
Sometimes I am convinced there are people that missed getting on the evolution bus.
