I am the king of weird questions. In my day job I called one of my service providers and he told me he loves my calls. "Either it's something simple that you know about and don't have access to[1], or I get to learn something because you find the weirdest cases."
[1] in this case, online credit card processing. I know (knew; I left that job three years ago) about each of the merchant account settings, from years of working with them, getting them set up, and testing them... but I don't have access to all of the configuration settings. So I'd call and ask for specific values for settings that most people don't know about.
One time I called up and asked for a specific configuration change that the support tech didn't even know about. "Okay, ask [your supervisor] about it and he can show you how." I got call back from the supervisor a short time later. "Dude, can you not do that? you're freaking out my staff."
