My dad, who has a degree in education and works as a career counselor at a local college, will not properly use bold, italics, or underlining when writing email messages. Instead, he INSISTS on CAPITALIZING certain words for EMPHASIS throughout his WHOLE MESSAGE.
Accident
Me and my friends sit at the front of our spanish class right by the computer, and as our teacher is always picking on us and generally being stpid, we decided to have a little fun, and turned off the monitor during a lesson. She freaked out for about 10 minutes before realising she just hasd to turn it on, and then started asking us questions, obviouly suspecting us. We made up some crap story about how it must of 'timed out' and turned itself off, and she seemed to believe us. The next lesson we decided to try it again, but instead this time turn the computer, the board and everything else at the plugs off. She turned the computer back on but threatened the class sating that if the people who did it didnt come forward that we'd all hav detention, so at the end me and my friends came forward, but decided to tell her some crap story about how we'd tried to turn a plug with nothing in it off, but 'accidenlty' turned them all of (there must have been about 10) and she went off into some rant about a pyramid of trust, but let us off with nothing- she'd believed us!

My girlfriend was creating a report and created a different word document for each section.

Each truck has a flip-open cell phone to communicate with the store, and this driver is often worried he's missed a call. But instead of looking for the little envelope icon to indicate a missed message, he insists on opening the... Read More »
My dad has had an iPhone for quite some time now. No matter how many times that I tell him otherwise, he thinks he can only use safari on it if he turns his personal hotspot on. He also thinks that turning it on will somehow boost his signal. He even has my stepmom log into his hotspot to use the Internet even though she too has an iPhone and hey have a shared data plan.
So I'm teaching my mom how to use email on her computer. So she's sitting in the desk chair and I'm standing over her shoulder. I say, "Ok, so turn on the computer". She goes, "Hold on." She then stands up, goes to get pencil and paper and proceeds to write down "Turn computer on". I say, "You did not just write that, did you?"
