I am quite sure you are all pretty much aware of the Seinfeld show, and the character Kramer. Well, I happen to think that we all know a version of in some shape or from and for me, a few.
Always entertaining, fodder for lots of stories ... tell us some of yours, me first ...
Ok, my Kramer ... he's the resident geek. The 'go to guy' for software, assembly, troubleshooting and so on. The problem is that almost as frequently that he fixes things, he also 'un-fixes' a number too.
Another all too familiar scenario. He's over 'fixing' something and being a decent host offer something to drink, most usually ice tea in the summer, good stuff. So, as we are examining the remains of my most recent pc meltdown I notice that my glass in almost empty and get up to get some more, taking notice as well that his is dangerously near the refill mark ... I will ask him, 'You want more ice tea?" His reply, 'Nah, I'm good.' '
K, off to the kitchen and refrigerator I go.
Replenish my glass, back into the room ... only to step in, one toe at best ... and have him look up with now empty glass in hand, as if this is the first time in a month that we have seen each other ... proferring it to me, and enquiring, "Hey, can I get some of that?' without fail, each and every time.
