What stupid questions have you received from your coworkers recently?
Here's a sample conversation I had with a colleague last week:
Bimbo: I can't log into my internet banking account. Why can't I do that?
Me: (this has nothing to do with my job) I'm really not sure. Why don't you call your bank?
Bimbo: (launches into a long winded story about how she used to be able to do internet banking and now she can't, and then launches into another story about a friend of a friend of a friend whose account disappeared while doing online banking )
Me: I really don't know. Why don't you call your bank and find out?
Bimbo: (continues her saga of how she's tried several times to log in without success). Why can't I login in?
Me: Why don't you call the bank?
Bimbo: Do you know their phone number?
