Line 82:
'''Manager:''' Johnson, I said to wash out the '''''butter''''' server!
'''Johnson:''' ''(offscreen)'' Oops. }}
**:* To put it in context, the past three strips had Jason being camped out in front of the computer trying to get tickets for ''[[Attack of the Clones]]'' for what is strongly implied for an extremely long time (as Jason put it, the connection to the Pavilionplex's web server was running slower than a Bantha on Hoth), and the reason for the long delay was revealed to be because one of the Pavilionplex staffers somehow mistook the Pavilionplex's web server for the butter server and soaked it in soapy water, making the staffer applicable for this trope for the sheer stupidity of his action. Also qualifies as an [[Epic Fail]].
* In ''[[Dilbert]]'' the titular character has this happen to him when he loses "The Knack" (for engineering) in the animated series.
** This trope also pays a visit to Dilbert starting [http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2000-02-21/ here] when he's assigned a new lab partner named [[Meaningful Name|Paul Tergeist]].
