Re: An apocryphal one
lmao, had a similar experience, anon because while the person aint there, i am!
so get a call as a new super keen support admin to our logistics department to check out one of our staffs office chair (yes thats how stupid the place is) so user complains her seat keeps dropping in height when shes typing in the ERP. (thats the IT link!)
Im standing scratching my head thinkng wtf, I sit on it (im a big 6` jock exrugby type) and all is fine.
I look back at the user and think, hmm ok shes tall and largish but nothing too mental....
so i ask the lady to sit so i can see if i can fathom it out.....boom i spot it immediately.....
Her saddlebags overhang was pressing down on the extended lever.....I couldnt bear to tell her, "erm its your arse hen"
So I sourced a different style of chair from another dept and claimed the old ones cylinder was leaking as i could see lubricant on the shaft which should be spotless.....
Oh what a great day I had once I got back to our site support office and rest of my team!...;)
