R needs to send an email to a bank. She calls me to help her set up a delivery and read receipt. In the process of doing this the following conversation takes place.
Me: Put in the email address.
R (mumbling while she is typing the address): s. a. n. d. o. w. n. b. m. BM must be branch manager. at. bankname. dot. co. dot. za.
R: How do I know it will go to the right branch?
Me: It has the branch name in the email address.
R: Oh, but how will I know it will go to her? The branch manager?
Me: Because this is her address, the one she gave you…
R: But it doesnt have her name in it?
Me: It doesnt have to, it’s her address, I promise it will go to her.
R: Ok, because I want *her* to reply to me.

R requested certain documents from a provider yesterday. They sent her the documents via email this morning and CC’d me on the mail.
R: They sent me the wrong documents.
Me: So send a mail back and tell them.
R: They sent you the mail, can you check if the documents they sent you are right?
Me: But they sent me the same mail as you.
R: Yes, but can you check?
Me *sighs*: Ok… They are wrong, send them a mail back and tell them.
R: Ok.

Another classic from Bob.
The IT guy walks into Bob’s office, he is practically crying he is laughing so hard.
Bob: IT Guy, whats so funny?
IT Guy: I got an urgent call to fix a problem with a computer.
Bob: What was the problem.
IT Guy: Well, you see, she wasn’t receiving emails. So I checked the connections, I checked Outlook, I checked everything I could possibly check.
Bob: And, what was the problem?
IT Guy: No one has sent her any…
