User: how do I make my laptop screen brighter?

Me: press fn+up arrow key.

Use: hit fn first?

Me: hold fn and hit the arrow key.

User:fnfffffffnnnnnnnnnnn

Me: the function key, not the f and the n keys.

User: do you mean f9?

Me: it's down by the control key and says fn in blue on it.

User: Oh.

*snort*

Thing is, I actually have some users who would make this sound while pressing the keys.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure they make these noises on a regular basis while drooling on the keyboard, but they make the noise during these directions, too.

I could definitely see this.

I'd almost expect the user to complain of a burning smell and I'd have to assume it was her brain. . .

Amused. Very amused.

Toshiba Satellite A500 on my desk right now - all the keys are uniformly black background with gray lettering, no exceptions. Even though the keyboard is bilingual (English + Hebrew), both languages are still the same color. So, be thankful your luser didn't have one of those.

Oh, I don't even want to think about that. I have had some similar issues with French keyboards, but probably not to that extent.

One of my clients: "What do you mean I have to press the effin key? I'm tired of pressing the goddamn effin key!"
