Unforgettable Acts of Stupidity From Real People

Clean and Clear

In the late 90s, I had a co-worker who complained about her computer being slow. I took a look, and the hard drive was full.

The largest folder was her recycle bin. She had never, ever emptied it in years of use. I emptied the recycle, cleared the Temp folder, and the PC started working fine.

She was happy until…her big Excel tracking sheet was gone. Oh, No!

She did not know where it was on file explorer, so I asked her to show me how she opened it. She goes to the little storage container on her desktop, named…Recycle Bin.

It was normally at the top, but now it’s gone. No backup. Oops…She cried to management that I “destroyed her computer.” The manager laughed when I told her the truth.
