eduabncs Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Asked to repair the sole on someones shoe and also sort someones glasses Glasses I can kind of understand as they can require the use of small screwdrivers to repair, the kind of which a good IT tech has in his/her tool set. Shoes though......WTF!
Pottsey Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Someone last week asked me to help them as they had trouble with the school direy. I imminently pictured the staff member trying and failing to open the pages and then holding the pen upside down.

Shoes though......WTF! The sole was falling off. Plenty of UHU, a few screws and a vice and it was good enough to make a cobbler weep
K.C.Leblanc Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 We got a request for help with a lightswitch. We were also asked for a OHP!!!
tech_guy Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 I saw it as well Had a phone call telling me to remove it....
tech_guy Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Thought better of that response did you tech_guy? Lol Yeah. Well at least someone else did because of the possibility of misinterpretation....
pete Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Propulsion design for a hovercraft. (bit of card set at an angle to the downwards facing fan that directs some of the downforce to the back of the hovercraft for forward movement ).
mac_shinobi Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Windows XP............ in Spanish Cant you download a language pack for windows xp which you can install and go from there
ahuxham Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Had a phone call telling me to remove it.... Bit lame to be honest :/ Shame your every move is monitored. I did like it though. I see the point about misinterpretation though.
john Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 I was asked for an OHP and said I have one in a basement ready for them, I don't think the heads PA believed me, was tempted to dig it out and leave it on her desk for her to come into tomorrow but thought better of it As for weird, I get everything at times, had the toilets have run out of loo roll, bin bags, vacuum cleaner, the electric man is here to read the meter, you name it we seem to get it
Batman Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Strangest request? Student asked me if I wanted her virginity. A very unpleasant moment indeed. She got a very startled "no". Kids will say anything to impress their mates. 1
Geoff Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 No. XP is region specific. If you want the Spanish version you'll have to get that edition.
Ric_ Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 ... electric man is here to read the meter, you name it we seem to get it Oooo... more robots for the Australian army ( http://www.edugeek.net/forums/general-chat/38824-wage-month.html#post360793 )
RinSewand Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 "My car is overheating can you help?" Along with the multitude of requests from the drama / events people as we double up as Sound and Lighting Engineers too, along with stagehands... I've only been here a month! RwD
deanc Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Its not just techies that get this I had a student ask me "have you got a stick sir" once.
AngryTechnician Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Student asked me if I wanted her virginity. My wife informs me that many a girl would happily give her virginity to Batman, so i think you were asking for that one really. Once had a student come in to borrow a screwdriver. Which is fair enough, as it's actually quite likely we would have them (and did), but I don't lend my own tools to students, especially not without asking why they want them. "Mrs X needs to force the lock open on a filing cabinet," was the response. I gave him a blank stare and told him to go ask the caretaker.
