I work fixing computers. When people bring their systems in, they're asked to fill out a service-request form. One blank on the form is "Describe Problem".

Many people seem to think this blank means "Describe which part you (or your friend, who knows everything about computers, because he works at the University {But who can't, of course, fix the problem}) think is causing the problem. "

I've long joked that we need to redesign the form to read "When I do _____________, it does _______________."

(One reason I've said we need this version is the large number of service requests where the description begins "Sometimes . . . ")

(I've also designed a second version. Our minimum charge is $36, for a half hour, and $56 per hour for longer times. My second version is:

When I do _____, it did _____ $36

So then I did _____, and it did _____ $56.

And then I did _____, and it did _____ $112.
