Even though I work in high tech and am perfectly capable of doing most computer tasks myself, I often have benign requests to the help desk. I should not spend time figuring out something that the pros can do in minutes, often remotely. Makes me look at a moron, but hopefully not as badly as the ones mentioned above.
Another example: I don't even blush asking an office assistant to send a fax for me. They look at me like I am from a different planet. I send a fax ever 6 months - they do it daily, so why not go with their expertise instead of wondering if the darn thing went through or not.
