True.

I prolly said this here before but...

The weirdest thing someone asked me to help with was freeing their dangling 
snack from the vending machine. I ended up doing this more times  than I'd like 
to admit.

I believe that part of this stems from the way people perceive IS.  We're seen 
as problem solvers and as helpful people who get things done. We tend to know 
who to talk to and where to find things.  Not a bad thing, but it can be 
inconvenient when you have a system down and people want to know why the water 
fountain isn't working.  :-)

  I had someone ask me today if we (IT dept) could provide them with a table.  
And I don't mean a database, I mean the wooden variety.  It's bad enough that 
people hit me up for spare computer parts for their home PC, now we're a 
furniture store?  WTF?
