Stupidity at Its Best

Before you read this post, you are warned that this is a rant about something quite moronic. So, if you pity stupid people and stupid questions, perhaps you shouldn't view this post.

EDIT: sorry - we've had to remove this post due to... nevermind or I might have to remove this sentence.

I love questions like: "How do I plug my phone in my computer", or "Why doesn't my webcam work" in the middle of the night. These questions are just so bloody brilliant. Why? Because I know exactly what they're talking about (not). Here's a snippit of the convo. Not even kidding. (I've made his name "This Guy" to keep it.. anonymous?.. even though half of you Saints guys may know who Im talking about already)

This Guy: Hey, how do I connect my phone to my computer.
I want to send some of the pics over
Me: Have u plugged it in to your computer?
This Guy: How do I plug it in to my computer?
Me: With a cable that connects ur computer to ur phone
or a card reader if your phone has a memory card
This Guy: Do i have that?

And it just goes on and on, and keep in mind that I have no prior knowledge of what phone he has, or what he's doing. And just a few moments ago, he asks me about why his webcam isn't working. I ask him what kind of webcam it is, and he says its one that plugs into the computer. that helps me a lot. I recommend him to google it, (cuz really that's all I can do to..), and he just continues to ask me the same thing over and over again.

I try to embed the concept of "googling" to him. He continues to ask me for help without giving me any additional info. And, since i'm a magical wizard at fixing webcams, I tell him he would have better luck searching it online for tech support himself, and he angrily tells me to "learn how to talk to people" and blocks me immediately after. Great Night.
