And This Is A Teacher. AAAAAAAAAAAA!
I work as a tech support guy in an elementary school. One day, I was asked by an older female teacher (probably fifty-five or older) why her projector wasn’t working and if I could come take a look.
I arrived and found that it wasn’t even plugged in.
Me: “Where is the plug?”
Teacher: “I don’t have it.”
Me: “Oh, that’s okay. I can probably get you a new plug, but I need to find one. I’ll be back in about ten minutes.”
But she wasn’t having any of it. She insisted that I make the projector work wirelessly and wouldn’t take no for an answer.
Me: “That simply isn’t possible. Wireless electricity hasn’t been invented yet.”
She refused to listen. Then, she took out her phone.
Teacher: “If my phone can connect to the Wi-Fi wirelessly, why can’t the projector?”
I had to explain that Wi-Fi and electricity are different things, but she became angry and started threatening to report me to the principal.
I tried to remain calm and explained the situation to her again, but she refused to listen and accused me of being incompetent.
Eventually, I had to leave the classroom without solving her problem. It was a frustrating experience, but sometimes there’s just no way to make things work the way people want them to.
I later spoke to the principal and explained the situation to her, and luckily, she understood that the teacher’s request was unreasonable.
