I have to agree. I have plenty of stories, but I usually only tell the ones that are funny. And I tell them as just that, funny stories. I don't try to belittle somebody for not knowing something unless I know they are trying to act high and mighty and spouting of stuff that they nothing about trying to look knowledgeable. (also not directing this at anybody in the thread, just joining in the conversation)
One of my favorites takes place back when 5.25 floppies were the mainstay. On some of the paper sleeves that they were stored in was printed "Remove from sleeve before using" or something to that extent. Well in the computer lab at William & Mary they had a floppy disk stapled to the announcement board where somebody had actually pulled the actual flimsy disk portion out the square protective cover through the hole in the center and tried to insert into a disk drive. That one cracks me up.
