Re: Unplugged cable

would have equipped most adults to correctly plug different cables into the correctly shaped sockets

You haven't lived until you've had to extract a modem cable plug from an RJ-45 socket.. (user was complaining that he couldn't get on the network and got quite vocal when I suggested that he might have plugged the grey modem cable in rather than the yellow ethernet cable.. Some embarrased silence was observed after I arrived and pointed out the mistake. For the remainder of his (thankfully short - he was definately light on people skills) time there he apparently slagged me off for being snooty and sarcastic..)

It was the snooty bit I objected to - sarcastic was a job requirement at that place.
