"I'm not going to be able to set you up with computer access, you'll have to contact IT for that."
"I haven't met IT yet ... is he nice?"
"ummmm .... yes".

This one happened yesterday. Not an idiotic thing to say, but really more of a stupid thing to say to somebody you need the help of. This was our email conversation
annoying: "Can you update my picture on the website?"
me: "Sure, I have a few things on my plate but I'll get on it right away"
annoying (10 minutes later): Can you update my picture on the website?
annoying (5 minutes later): Can you update my picture on the website?
me: I haven't forgotten about you, but as I said I have some things on my plate that were requested before yours so once I'm done with them I'll be sure to update your picture.
annoying: Oh ok. I was just confused I guess because you said you'd do it right away.
Let this be an important lesson to anybody who relies on somebody else in their work environment ... don't be a dick to your useful co-workers. What was a very simple job that could have been done on Wednesday will now be done end of day Friday because you pissed off the web guy and now he's going to surf CP all day instead of doing your stupid little photo edit.
