(I’m at my university’s computer help desk and have just fixed a problem on a student’s laptop.)
Me, to student: “…okay, that should get you online.”
Student: “Great, thanks!”
(A random student passes by, seeing the laptop.)
Random Passerby: “Wow! That laptop is huge!”
Me: “Erm…”
Random Passerby: “I bet you could use it as a weapon to smash someone’s head in!”
Me: “Uhh…”
Student: “Erm…”
Random Passerby: *walks off*
Me, to student: “Well, I bet you didn’t know THAT about your laptop.”
