I go to investigate, and they had managed to plug the HDMI cable of one monitor into the other monitor.

Never been a sysadmin, but used to sell electronics. People really have absolutely no idea how any of it works, including pretty straight forward stuff, like displays. Had to explain to a shockingly large number of people that there was no such thing as an ethernet to HDMI adapter and that even if there was, plugging ethernet into their non-smart TV's HDMI port wouldn't let them watch Netflix on it.

HDMI with included Ethernet is a thing.
