I've got one of those stories
Working as a student aide in college, at the university-run computer instruction center (courses for professionals, businesses, etc., to learn then-new technology like MS-DOS and such LOL!).
Dr. High and Mighty comes running in to the office yelling at all the students and staff, very upset that *A WHOLE ROW OF COMPUTERS ARE DEAD! WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO?!"
Two of us calmly walked in to the classroom and started checking power cords. "I'VE ALREADY PLUGGED ALL THOSE IN!!!! NOTHING IN THIS ROW IS WORKING!"
Uh, yeah...he'd plugged them in alright. He had plugged all the power strips into each other in a big circle. Guess he forgot to plug at least *one* of them into the actual wall outlet.
Did we get a thank you? Yeah, right...
