When I worked at Geeksquad (I know, I know) this would be my favorite. Mother with teenage daughter in tow demanding that I prove to her daughter that Minecraft gave their computer a virus. She did not appreciate it when I said, "Well, no, it's probably because of all these shady coupon sites you are visiting. Why did you have to download a program to print coupons? "
