Sometimes clients need help transferring files they’re going to use in their presentation. I walked into the room today, and the client goes, “Thank goodness you’re here! The flash drive isn’t showing up!” So I went over to help. I plugged the drive into the computer to see if I could get it to work, and she said, “Oh! That’s where it is! I’m used to it being back here on mine.” I asked her where she had been trying to plug it in. For some reason you can’t plug a USB flash drive into the ethernet jack on your laptop. Wouldn’t the competely different shapes be a tip off?

P.S. I was just walking down the hall and a client pointed at a sign and said, “Excuse me, can you direct me to food & spirits?”

1. You are pointing at a sign with arrows to the locations listed.


2. You asked for “food & spirits” but actually would just like a vending machine, as you had to explain.


3. It’s funny to say, “Direct me to food & spirits.”
