Just took this call:

her: uh... yeah, so my internet went down yesterday and ever since then I haven't been able to connect to a wireless network.
me: [explains in very short words why this doesn't make sense]
her: well I'm connected to modem directly right now. [connects cables directly and when I say so, she disconnects the cable from the computer]
Me: so when you're looking at your available wireless networks, what do you see.
her: there's none in range and none are showing up.
me: hrm. well, do you have a notebook computer that maybe has a wifi switch on it?
her: yeah, and [in a very matter of factly tone] it's turned off.
me: *silent knife stare of death*
her: OH! so I won't be able to search for wireless networks with it off.
me: right, just a quick change there an....
her: oh there it is, and it says I'm connected.

Short one for a short day at work with a short tempered employee.

in short, Knife stare of death when possible
