How do these people even get hired?

We hear a lot of stupid stuff throughout the course of the day, but when we heard this one, we knew we had to share it with you. 

One of our genius coworkers, looking for a phone number, was frustrated when the website for the business in question was down for maintenance. Someone pointed out that he could use the phone book. (and can we just say how sad it is that he never even thought of the phone book.) After ten minutes of flipping through the yellow pages with no success, in spite of knowing the exact name and location of the company, this fellow declared "phone books are hard" and went back to trying to make the website work. 

Let's say that one more time, in case you missed it.
Phone books are hard.

See. Very tricky.

 
We suppose we shouldn't be too surprised. This is the same guy who stands behind the desk, strokes his chin, and points at various things for about five minutes, every day at closing. Every. Single. Day. Like he has to be sure that the computers haven't gone anywhere.
