I set up a gmail account for my dad and he was reading the gmail tutorial thing. After a while he asks, “What is this, ‘Sunday night is movie night?’ I can watch movies on gmail on Sundays?”
He was reading a sample email with the subject, “Sunday is movie night”

I recently taught my dad how to use eBay. As I was leaving the house, he said that he was going to go bid. Instead of refreshing the page, he opened a new window and went back to the auction to see if he was still the top bidder and the time remaining. By the end, there were 96 open windows. He didn’t win the auction.
