A Reluctance to use common tools

The boss was working on a Word Document.
It was OK until he needed to organise a table.

Figures.
Rows.
Columns.

Yes, a table, that'll be the one.

Boss:"How do you do this?"
Me:"How do you put these figures into a table?"
Boss:"Yes, how do you put these figures in a table?"
Me:"In the Word toolbar go to 'Table>Insert>Table' and then tell it how many rows & columns then cut & paste your data into the new table. Easy as that"
Boss:"Show Me"
Me:"I've just told you, it's in the toolbar"
Boss:"Show Me"

Despairing Worker leans across desk, takes mouse and points to 'Table>Insert>Table' in toolbar

Me:"There you go, just as I said - 'Table>Insert>Table' "
Boss:"Do it"
Me:"I beg your pardon?"
Boss:"Can you do that for me?"
Me:"I can, but I've just shown you; it's dead easy, do it yourself"
Boss:"No, you do it"

Despairing Worker is offered the bosses idiot chair whilst the boss goes off to waste someone else's time; maybe he can ask one of the programmers to sweep the floor, get a project manager to fetch him lunch or even have an accountant make him a cup of coffee and waste their time & skillsets too?

The boss is such an idiot.
