Funniest support question I've ever gotten (slightly OT)

"Excuse me, do you know how to spell 'leprechaun'?"

I don't even want to know why she asked.

Is it because you're short and wear green a lot?

It's quite possible. Maybe I should dye my hair red and start hauling around boxes of lucky charms on my support appointments.

Not off topic at all. This is why we're here. These are the voyages we all love to hate. :) Or hate to love. :)

Thanks for sharing, that was hilarious.

One time I set a password to the caller's last name and he asked me how to spell it.

Also, one time I gave a URL to a guy on the phone and it had the word "external" in it. I didn't spell it out. This was a mistake, because the guy goes, "How do you spell 'external?' I know it is either X-T-E-R-N-A-L or E-X-S-T-E-R-N-A-L."

Um, no. Neither, actually.

Although, I'm sure if he was talking about his ex-girlfriend, he wouldn't use an "s" after the "x".

I have such high expectations of the spelling capabilities of my peers. I need to stop doing that. :P
