We'll Never Grow Up!

by Jeff Rubin on

Do your parents not understand technology? None of them do, they’re all morons! People that dumb shouldn’t be allowed to breed. It’s tragic, really.

If you’ve got an example of your Parents Just Don’t Understanding, embarrass them and send it to parentsjustdontunderstand (at) gmail.com.

  • My dad watches Tae-bo VHS tapes on a tv in his gym, but he wanted to convert them to DVD. His solution was to place his new macbook on the top of a ladder and use the built-in webcam to tape the TV, then try to burn them onto a disc.

  • My mom asked me to find her the video of Ms. Philippines on YouTube. I explained to her that the video was on CollegeHumor and she replied, “Nevermind, I don’t have that.”

  • I found this “review” for Thank You for Smoking while browsing Netflix:

    “We don’t want any R rated movies sent to us. We know that this limits our choices, But that’s O.K. When I ordered this movie I didn’t know that it was rated R. If I order another one by accident, don’t send it. Thanks, Jan.”

  • And a very special sisters don’t understand…
    My girlfriend and I were trying to connect to the wireless network at her house but were having problems. Her little sister, a high school senior, then told us that we should try and connect to an unprotected network at the Linksys’ house. When we explained it was a company and not a name, she told us that she had been trying to figure out for months where in the neighborhood the Linksys family lived. She couldn’t understand why she could still access their network at her boyfriends house a couple of miles away. She figured that they just had a “really strong connection.”

Passwords

I work in IT for a fairly well known company, but I work for one of the smaller branches. It's just me and one other person and let me just say, he isn't the brightest bulb. We are suppose to change the passwords to the computers every three months, and I was going to be gone on the day that we were suppose to do it. I wrote down the list of passwords that he needed to... Read More » change it to in an Excel doc and told him that he needed change them before he left on Friday, but after everyone is gone for the weekend. Monday I get back and everyone is asking me why they cannot get onto their computer. It turns out the guy didn't like the passwords I had created and made up his own, and then forgot what they were.
