Tales from tech support :
Here's one from when i was sysadmin at a major carier.

user : " I get an error when i try to open a pdf file "
me : ok , let me see the error.
user opens excel, clicks 'open file' , selects pdf and error occurs.🙈

Ha! Sounds familiar, lost count how many times our support desk gets calls where the problem is situation behind the keyboard.
