Funny overheard conversations in work

Umm, no, user's emails are linked to a user's Windows SID, so all they had to do was log into another computer, providing they use roaming profiles.

Of course, some one else could always have emailed IT support on their behalf...

Would be fine logging into another machine even if not using roaming profiles due to Domain User role.

Thats providing it is that environment

OK - embarrassment time - not overheard but have been part of these conversations

On phone to Bank cust service about a complaint & overseas agent was reading back postcode part of confirmation which was " so the postcode is 5, x for x-ray & j for junkie" :eek:

But the worst (but still causes laughter in work) - PC issues & my computer was being remote controlled to sort problem. PC expert asks - so how do you access intranet - Me - by clicking on this icon (as I point to computer and tap on intranet icon).
I am officially a plonker

Overheard in the office fri afternoon, "I was checking my/the? Bawsaq last night and ..." He stopped as we stared.

Bawsaq is the stock market in the game Gta V, or a slang reference to male genital parts (aka ball sack)

It's not a conversation I overheard but a conversation I had with my 16 year old daughter yesterday. I was helping her apply for jobs online and said to her click the box for 35 hours, her reply, and she was deadly serious "How can I work for that long? There's only 24 hours in a day". There's no doubting I am raising a blonde

Another conversation with said daughter from a while back. She asked if she could cook a pizza, then looked at the instructions for cooking the pizza and said, quite disheartened she was, "Oh, I can't cook this, it says gas mark 5, we have electric." I've failed somewhere with my parenting

In a conversation on the 'phone to a police officer, a colleague tried to spell something out over a bad line and wasn't up on the radio alphabet (a = alpha etc).

She was fine with a for apple, s for sugar, until she got to "P as in Pig". She barely held it together for the rest of the call.

I went out to a horror theme park with DH and two friends. We were queuing for one ride that was next to the hog roast stall. Just before we got on the ride my friend turned to the attendant and said 'it really smells of p0rn round here' and he replied 'I know it's a sensory ride madam but there's no p0rn on it.' The rest of us were in stitches. She looked at us and said 'pork, I meant it smells of pork'.

Well it's not work related, and not really a whole conversation, but I found it pretty funny...

Two 'gangsta' types sat on bus in front of me, you know, the bling, the cap, trackies etc, I couldn't understand half what they were saying as it was far too 'street' for me and as they had got on they were acting proper 'hard men.'

What I did catch was, "I know bruv, but I love her so much, you get me?" They then proceeded to have a little cuddle and a cry.

Gangstas have feelings too

Overheard in a campsite in sunny foreign climes. Two women were passing by on the other side of a hedge, I couldn't quite make out what they were saying but I knew they were English.

"mumble mumble mumble Coronation Street mumble mumble ....."


And this is a conversation I had where only one of us was listening. I stopped at one of those corporate coffee retail outlets on the motorway and didn't want to go through usual questions and options

Her: Can I help you?
Me: Yes, all I want is a medium sized regular coffee to go please.
Her: Sure, what kind of coffee would you like?
Me: Just a regular, standard issue coffee please.
Her: Okay, would you like large, medium or small?
Me: Eh? Medium.
Her: Are you sitting in or is it to take out?
Me: *starting to deflate* to take out.
Her: Can I get you anything to go with it?
Me: *losing the will to live* no.

I'm no good at that alphabet either. Until recently I thought U for Uniform was U for Unicorn! OH thought that was extremely funny

Not at work, but DD1 once recently told me she was going to set up her own business making cakes and selling them to trespassers :rotfl:
