a friend asked me if I've seen the remote as he was flipping channels
When you work in IT and get a ticket for a computer that won't turn on. (The power was out)
Memory from middle school. The extension cord was unplugged. Of course the computers didn't run.
2 of us wanted to tell the teacher who was trying to turn them on, but multiple times we were stopped right after "miss" with something along the lines of "Don't think you know everything, I don't need to hear your advice."
OK, I guess. She called a technician. I just wish we were still there to see that.
I've sorta built the habit of just blurting out the piece of the puzzle that is missing. It usually brings about a bit of confusion and curiosity to them to make them receptive to listening or turning around and see where you are pointing.
In this case the building was totally dark. The user was troubleshooting with a flash light. At some point it dawned on them that computers need power.
I've searched for my glasses on my head at least twice in life.
