I came upon one interesting story. I'm pretty surprised close to 800 people gave this a thumbs up...
That’s Nothing A Little Duct Tape Can’t Fix
ELECTRONICS STORE | UNKNOWN LOCATION
Customer: “I want a computer where I can type in Russian and it will print in English.”
Me: “Sir, I’m afraid we don’t have Russian keyboards.”
Customer: “No, that’s fine. I’ll just tape Russian letters on.”
Me: “Sir, it will still be an English keyboard.”
Customer: “Okay, so what if I glue the letters on?”
Me: *thunk thunk thunk* “Still English.”
Now here's an example where the customer is right while the salesperson or whoever submitted this is a moron. Keyboard is an input device that has letters glued on it. There is no such thing as an English keyboard, the keyboard doesn't send letters to the computer, or even codes of letters. The keyboard sends the location of key pressed. In Windows, there are files which map keys pressed to letters. These can be in any language as long as you install it. More so, you can even reassign letters to different keys. In my Russian keyboard, letters are assigned based on what they sound like.
I really hope this wasn't the owner of the place...
