"Upload/Download"
When I worked as a technical-support specialist
for a computer company, customer help calls
ranged from the mundane to the bizarre.
One memorable problem I had to trouble-shoot
came from a man who complained that every
time he flushed his toilet, his computer would
reboot.
It turned out that he lived in a rural area with
water supplied by a well with an electric pump.
Every time he flushed, it would turn on the
pump, causing a dip in the electric power,
which in turn would cause the computer to
restart itself.
