I have a classmate like that, calls me on skype every time something happens, though his questions arent THAT dumb, still though, he could of google before annoying me.. xD
There are many people who rather ask a friend. I can understand if somebody tells me, but searching for solution on forums always ends by asking a friend. Real experience of a friend is often better than trying on your own...
Oh god, brings memories back from this class I took (was part of the Networking degree), forgot the name in particular, but it was to help us out if we were ever to be employed in the tech support department.
Oh god, there was one in particular that baffled me, it went something like this:
Customer calls Tech support, complaining she couldn't see the yellow ink she was printing out on her paper. I forget the whole in between of this true story, but ends up she was trying to print up on yellow paper.
Then there was another one where this guy was trying to print, called tech support about it, etc - ends up he was putting the paper up to the monitor, and thought that would print a copy.

That is still not enough facepalm.
"Wheres the ANY key?" "I cant find my ANY key"
