15. When I used to work for Boeing

in third-level network support, we did pretty much all our work over the phone, on speakerphones. We would usually direct the field techs through things like restarting routers, etc. So, one of the commonest inquiries we'd have of the tech on the other end, loudly (so they could hear us on the speakerphone), was: "Have you got it up yet?"

You should see the looks you get from passersby when you utter that phrase loudly to (apparently) no one.
