A fairly busy day and things ticking along as normal when I recieve a call regarding a printer that “isn’t working” and “unable to print”.
Being the person that it was that had raised the call, it was something I had to hurry down to.
I arrive at their office and take a look at their printer after they have told me the whole story again. Upon checking the cables, I discover that the USB cable for the printer has been lodged into the network port on the laptop.
I removed it and plugged it in correctly.
They felt slightly embarassed and let’s say I left the office trying my best not to laugh…

I’ve had our VP do the exact same thing. His comment was “Well it fit”. Really? He was plugging in things without looking at the ports. In his mind if it goes in and stays in, it fits.
It is a good thing they don’t put the tail pipes on your average vehicle next to the fuel cap. By that thinking, I expect the gasoline soaked muffler to flame up in 3… 2… 1…
