(There is an ID check to enter the lab and to print.)
Me: “Hi, can I see your ID please?”
Guy: “No, I don’t need ID to come in here.”
Me: “Yes, at this lab it is required.”
Guy: “But I don’t need an ID to come in!”
Me: “I’m sorry, but I really need your ID or I can’t let you come into the lab.”
Guy: “Oh I need ID to come in? Why didn’t you just ask me for it?!”
Me: *headdesk*

Woman 1: “What is that little trash can on the screen?”
Woman 2: “My son says that is called the ‘recycle bin’. He tells me when I don’t want a Word document anymore and I delete it, it really goes in there.”
Woman 1: “Why in the recycle thingy? Can’t you just erase it?”
Woman 2: “Oh no, Word wouldn’t work for very long if I did that, I would run out of blank pages.”
Woman 1: “Why?”
Woman 2: “Because it cleans the words off the pages, then sends the blank sheets back to Word so they can be used again. That’s why it’s called the recycle bin.”
