minus-squareHornedMeatBeast@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 days agoMy old boss called me, said please come to my office… my laptop will not turn on and I cannot figure it out. I get there, he tells me to please help him, he is probably being stupid. I look at his laptop, I see his charger plugged in, I follow it down the desk, across the floor all the way to the wall socket where the plug lies… He had walked the charger’s plug to the wall socket and just left it on the ground. I plug it in, he sees me do this, laptop turns on, I leave.
