Or the car alarm that won't let you walk away...Headlights bumped onto "on" not "auto" beam and car don't want a dead battery.
Not once but twice...duh~

How about calling maintenance over to find out why a feature on the machine your run every day isn't working and after they show up it turns out it just wasn't turned on?
I was stuck in a check stand instead of working my actual job of produce when I overheard the Assistant Manager telling someone that she'd call a repairman to look at the compactor. When the employee passed by I asked what the problem was and she said that when she hit the 'On' button nothing happened.
So I called the assistant (26 year old wannabe) over and asked that she let me out so I could check the compactor out and was told "No, it needs a professional to look at it." I persisted that she should at least let me look at it so she took over in the check stand. I was back in about 2 minutes and told her she didn't need to call for a repairman as the compactor was working fine.
You should have seen the look on her face when I told her that someone had accidently hit the Emergency Stop Button and all I had to do was pull it out so the machine could run.
That call would probably have cost between $150-$200 or more.
Give me common sense over education any day.
Well, my caliper does the same thing as the original poster's. Guess I know why now.
Not Caliper or Tool of any kind related--but I too got to feel Like a Dumb A$$ today.
I always 'TRY' to make sure my rent check is in the mail and arrives earlier than the rents due. So today I wrote the check out and had it ready to be picked up several hours before the postman usually arrives.
I checked time and time again and the letter was still ready to pick up.
I finally did an online check for holidays for 11/12/2018 and since Veteran's Day was ACTUALLY YESTERDAY the Government and others (like USPS) take today off!

I took machine shop 3 years in high school & worked in a shop for a couple years & had a lathe & shaper at my house & was always taught to clean of all tools I used including measuring tools. I always carry a small rag when I work in the shop.

If something like that makes you feel dumb, I should probably be ashamed of myself!
I spent 15 minutes trying to kick start my daughters scooter it was only after I gave up and started putting it back in the garage that I noticed the kill switch was on.
