Yep, that's the one

Most users at this company are clueless about IT and don't mind admitting it. But one guy is a kibitzer who insists on displaying his IT knowledge as a pilot fish works on a co-worker's PC. Once it's running, kibitzer pipes up: "So what was the problem?" Fed-up fish: Well, the hard drive was cross-referencing with the mainframe, causing gigabyte distortion. Kibitzer, sagely: "Ah, I thought that might be the problem."

Nice try

This office is slated to get LCD displays, so when a monitor dies just before the rollout, pilot fish installs an LCD. Five minutes later, the first me-too call comes in. "He started, 'You know, I have a very bad back' and continued into his pitch about how an LCD monitor would likely help," fish reports. "He couldn't explain exactly how it would help, but he just knew it would. He got points for creativity -- and a new LCD on the regular schedule."
