Sometimes when I'm playing Rock Band alone, my stick gets like caught under the pad, and I get all screwed up. I actually get embarrassed even though I'm alone.

Dude, DUDE. You told her to get Sonic 2 on the SMS over the FUCKING GENESIS SONIC 2? Are you exceptionally dense or just trying to be intentionally elitist?
Not as stupid per se, but makes you think about the living standards of some people...
A few years ago when I worked at ebgames, me and my manager had two customers approach the counter. They were somewhere in their thirties, dressed in bulky khaki-colored carhart overalls. They placed a rather battered older ps2 on the counter with one of those extended warranties we used to offer. They claimed the system started sparking and won't power on anymore. We took it back no questions asked because the old warranty covered physical damage.
After they left, my manager opened the expansion bay, he turned pale and appeared to be close to throwing up. He ran the ps2 into the backroom almost immediately. when the store was empty he took me to the backroom, strangely the ps2 was triple-bagged in trash bags.
He showed me what was wrong with it.
It seemed roaches had made the ps2 their home and chewed up pieces of the inside. There were charred remains of several roaches, in addition to a lot of living ones to. He called the district manager the next day to fumigate the store.

Year's ago when I worked at a game shop we had a kid bring in a PSP and a bunch his UMD's.
We open up his PSP to find a UMD disc in the drive. No not the UMD disc inside of the little plastic housing, he actually ripped the disc out of the housing. The disc was badly scratched in the extraction process, and obviously the disc never read.
On top of that he had five more little UMD games ripped out of their housing to go along with it. When we told the poor kid's mom why we couldn't take the system and what her special child has done, she looked pretty pissed.
OP wins though, hands down, the end. I hope she tells a coworker or a friend the story so they can laugh at her ineptness with technology too!

I met perhaps the dumbest person today while trying to setup his PS3. I already posted the full story on GAF so I'll just crosslink.

a few years ago, when i was playing my DS, an old lady approached me and asked how much that tiny laptop costs, and where i got it from. i had to explain that it was a videogame system, not a laptop.
When I was a little kid, only possessing a Gameboy and a NES, I went over to a friend of my parents house to be babysat. Not only did they have a SNES, but they also had a SUPER GAME BOY. Needless to say, I plopped my copy of Zelda:LA into the slot and then spent the next THREE HOURS trying to turn the damn SNES on. Finally I gave up, but just as I did, the oldest son walked in and I asked him how to turn it on... he said slide it up I had been trying to press the damn thing IN for hours, just like the NES

Not gaming related, but I used to work at an office supplies store a few years back....
This guy comes in with a wall phone, says the caller ID display is broken, and it only displays "John Doe". It was pretty obvious what was going on, but I asked him a few more questions anyway, and he said it looked like the numbers were displaying "underneath" the John Doe text. So he produces the box with the phone in it, I open it up, peel off the display sticker, and he should be all set.
Nope.
He DOESN'T BELIEVE ME, and I have to spend another 10 minutes convincing the guy that his phone is fine. That's by far my most memorable story in this vein.

And it'll ask for your PIN in the form of a very simple maths question, so people think they're getting smarter by doing it. :lolAndrex said:

There are a lot of similar stories on Computer Stupidities. One guy on there kept his floppies in airtight bags so that they wouldn't catch airborne viruses and someone else physically quarantined one of them that had a virus so that it couldn't affect the others.Revolver said:

This one's not really game related, but several years back my mom used to work in computer technical assistance, and one day she came home from work with a story of an old lady who called in trying to find out why her computer wasn't turning on. As it turned out, she had never plugged it in because she believed that it was powered by using the mouse as a foot pedal.

Made an agreement with another GAF member, refused to honor it because he was broke, but then had no problem continuing to buy video games.
I don't know if this qualifies but I thought Monkey Island 1 was a beat em up so I kept search for the "punch" and "kick" button and get rid of the stupid "use" "pick up" ones .
