One of my female colleagues has to work at home due to the virus. She is normally office based so I had to get a laptop set up for her with a VPN connection and sent out to her along with a power cord. Cue an internal phone call this afternoon from one of her friends in the office informing me that I'd sent the wrong power supply. Now, as far as I know. modern Dell laptops use only two types of power cord. The latest use a small round connector, older ones a slightly larger round connector which is what I'd sent.
I asked what size the connector was and was told it was a USB power connection. Can't be, I said. Laptops don't use a USB power connection. Much chat on Snapchat or similar and I was then told "The polite version is that do you think she's stupid?" The inference was that I was the stupid one.
I was then shown photos of both sides of the laptop and the "USB power connector". It was the slot for a Kensington security lock. I then politely enquired if she had bothered looking at the back of the f
king thing...
technically some new laptops do have a USB power connector.... admittedly USB-C.... anywayI asked what size the connector was and was told it was a USB power connection. Can't be, I said.

Her car has a tow bar and was parked properly. An older male driver somehow parked his car so that the front skirt on the car had gone over the tow bar and couldnt move his car, nor could she move hers.
We asked "What did you do?"
She said "Tony had to come out and jack him off"
We raised our eyebrows.

Had to explain to my (usually very bright) girlfriend last night that Florida was NOT in California
With all due respect to your very bright girlfriend, aside from the fact that Florida is in the extreme South East of the U.S., and California in the far South West, and that they are two separate States, did she think Florida was in California because both are drenched in semi permanent sunshine?cuprabob said:

Orange County is in Florida and is in California, so Florida must be in California

Does it only apply to American 'wait staff', Frank, or also to people who don't pretend to be transatlantic?
Dining in the USA a while ago we were served by a 'waitron' (female), and a 'waitron' (male).nonsequitur said:

Mrs Parkette is sat watching Boris on TV with the neck of her jumper up to her forehead so that she doesnt pick up any bugs from me, which I dont have.
How do you know?ETA
Mrs PR wants to switch supermarkets from Morrisons to Waitrose. A better class of social distancing.

Returning after a hiatus as I thought that the current situation would bring the best out of our females.
It certainly has in mine.
Her: " I'm just going down to the bottle bank"
Me: " You can't do that"
Her "Why not - it's next to the shops and it says we're allowed to go to the shops"
Me: "<sigh> Just put them in the garage"
Her "I'm surprised you didn't go out for a ride on your Motorbike yesterday"
Me " I'm printing out the rules from the gov.uk website for you"
