Two from a previous job (I work in IT):
There is a power cut - the lights go off, the desk lights go off, and so on. One entire team want to know why their computers have turned off (they had noticed there'd been a power failure).
Some-one asked me why the lifts weren't working - not in a general pass-the-time griping conversational manner, as they then followed up by asking when IT were going to get them fixed. And they were being serious.
