And, naturally, as Princess of Friendship, she lends a helping hoof wherever she can.

Haha, That was pretty good, reminds me of the days I worked in customer service
Having worked in IT, I laughed and cried at the same time.
Great story... I do hope that scream helped Twilight out!
6723388 IT, you cruel mistress.
But I mean, the pay is good. But ughhhh.

The soul crushing despair as you realize a good chunk of the population is incapable of reading or basic problem solving?
6724108 The sheer number of times I got that sneeeeeeeeeeeeeeaking suspicion so I told the client it was super important they tell me what lights are on the front of their equipment
and the fucking power light WAS NEVER ON
and they're like 'well what's wrong with it'
AND THERE IS NO NICE WAY TO EXPLAIN.
Of course, this also works as a prank from Celestia (set up with Spike's help), with the bit about not being able to go to sleep being the last twist of the knife.

Yep. This is depressingly accurate for what being IT is like:
Technically, we still don't have any evidence that she's not, so obviously, she must be. I'm sure I'll start believing that at any moment now.
So... in those thousand years when Luna was trapped in the moon...
...how did Celestia manage then?
The soul-crushing agony of having to work in retail.
Now with ponies!
Still just as soul-crushing.
At least now it happens to someone else.
Even if that someone else is the adorable Twilight.
Sacrifices must be made.
6724393 Oh I'm sure Celestia was simply quite mad for that time.
Or had a different pony around who's special talent was "get ponies to sleep"
who knows~
6724478 What can I say, it's been an unusually rough week at work and I took it out on poor Twilight.
I get a lot of customers that use their current profession as excuses for not knowing really simple things, such as "in order for this piece of electronics that specifically comes with a power cord to work, it must be plugged in and the power light on".
Or "If you've cancelled your phone service, then your AT&T phone, on which you had the service, will no longer work." "BUT WHY."
And at that point it takes all my might not to just yell "BECAUSE REASONS" and hang up.
Ah, good times.

And I have been reading NotAlwaysRight.
Times. Times indeed.
You have to start somewhere Twilight. How do you think Celestia got her calm, unflappable demeanour? Centuries of dealing with numpties like this, that is how! You are an alicorn princess now! If you cannot deal with the silly hoi poi and their silly little problems without succumbing to the urge to take their silly little problem and forcibly shove length-wise up their posterior, how do you think you will fare with international realpolitik once you have come into your full power? One lapse of self-control at that level and you are liable to do something regrettable and unfortunate that will be labelled as "genocide" and "war crime" by the survivors...
Me, myself? I confess to have found myself in Dr. Stable's position more times than I would like to admit with the poor Pitney repair techies. (I swear it was not entirely my fault: the first time I had squirrels chew through the 3-phase power cables, the second time I had a snake get mangled in the diverter belts, the third time mud wasps caused a short in the control panel...)
Oh god, no. Noooooooooooo.
You magnificent bastard.
6725002 Thats kinky.
More. There must be more!
Whoo Luna x spike!
6733706 ...what? They're literally on a diplomatic trip together, and Spike is literally a baby please don't be gross on my story k
No promises dawg orig01.deviantart.net/6168/f/2012/096/5/8/spike_the_pimp_by_mick_f18-d4v79mn.jpg

Twilight will be needing a timeout on the moon I think.
Not Always Right
Fulfill all your cringing needs.
Occasionally, it restores a little bit of your faith in humanity.
It could be worse. Twilight could always be called upon to use her princess powers to change a light bulb.
this should really be a thing. ponies being terrible at everything except their special talent.
This is simultaneously funnier and more depressing than it has any right to be. Excellent work.
