I'm starting to wonder if people are just stupid.

Person A: Do you want this to happen?
Me: By "this" do you mean "blank" or "thingy"?
Person A: *repeats entire first question*
Me: *stares*

WTF?

I know what you said, you moron! Please, tell me what you meant so I can answer your question.

Finding change in the house is hard work, especially when the house is freezing. Brr.

My favorite conversation was a couple of weeks ago:

J: "I have a problem with the way 'OEM' is defined in the manual..."
Me: "How do you mean?"
J: *pauses for a long time* "Like in a dictionary..."
Me: "Yes, yes. I understand that. I meant, what's wrong with it?"
J: *another long pause* "I don't understand the definition..."

He actually at one point said "I can read the words and understand each word, but put together, they make no sense."

Which was essentially his way of telling me "the way the manuals use OEM is incorrect. Fix it."

When I told him "It sounds like they're wrong," he seemed so disappointed, like they shouldn't be wrong, perhaps. I would have thought he'd be happy to be right....
