Not Even Remotely Competent

(My coworker isn’t getting an Internet connection on her computer after a power surge. I’m no full service technician, but I know some fixes. I check it out and say that the network card is more than likely broken and needs to be replaced. But regardless, the Internet is out for her computer. She calls our regular tech support computer guy who comes to visit the office.)

Tech Support Guy: *on the phone* “Okay, I’ll do a remote connection over the Internet to see what’s wrong with your computer.”

(I and three other people all face-palmed in unison.)
