This just happened, so it’s nice and fresh in my mind. And here I sit with some free computer time.
A woman comes up to the circ desk complaining that a DVD “won’t play the second part”. The circ desk staff is stumped so they come back to me and ask the same question she did.
I don’t understand the question. It’s the second disc of a Charmed set, so it has four episodes on it, but there’s no “second part”. I test the DVD in one of the library’s computers, it plays fine. It brings up the first episode right away and I can go to the menu and pick any episode and it’ll play fine.
So I go up to the circ desk to talk to the woman and ask her what her question means. I tell her “I don’t understand the question”
She replies “You mean none of these guys told you my question? Why were they gone so long? They told me they asked the expert?”
I replied, “They told me, I just don’t understand, what do you mean by 'it doesn’t play the second part.”
She says “There are four episodes here and it only brings up the first one. I can’t play any of the others.”
Ah, she doesn’t know how to work her DVD player.
I tell her to press the MENU button and that will bring up the MENU which will let you play any episode you want.
She says (and here’s the kicker): “Are you sure? I don’t think that’ll work. How does that work?”
I say “It’ll work, if not your DVD player is broken.”
Finally she says (and here’s the kicker): “I don’t think you know what you’re talking about.”
No lady, you don’t know how to work your DVD player.
And you voluntarily watch Charmed :rolleyes:
No offense to any Charmed fans. I’m sure you’re charming people.
