Shoutout to the guy at the coffee shop who asked 'What's the dumbest question you've ever heard?'
Honestly, I was just grabbing a coffee yesterday and overheard this guy at the next table ask his friend that. His friend laughed and said, 'Someone once asked me if they needed to turn off their computer to change the wallpaper.' Ngl, I almost snorted my latte. It got me thinking though, because I work IT help desk and I've heard way worse. Like the person who called because their monitor was 'broken' and it was just unplugged. But the coffee shop guy's point was that there's no such thing as a dumb question if you're genuinely trying to learn. It made me realize I get annoyed sometimes at work, but people are just trying to figure stuff out. Has anyone else had a moment where a simple overheard thing totally shifted how you handle basic questions?
