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.
Idiotech
Parents, teachers, bosses, and the general old people population are terrible with technology.
Gullible old fart.
So my father bought a new Wireless router, and asked me to set it up. i told him to give me an hour because i was on my way out to grab some things i left at a friends house the night before. When i got home he began Screaming at me because "I Pay for all this goddamn S**T and nothing ever works!" I then found out that he placed the Router in his den.. Which is upstairs, and on the other side of the house, as the Modem. So i brought it down stairs, hooked it up, and connected him... Not 2 hours later he became Paranoid because i did not setup a security key for the router, Which was unnecessary seeing as our closest neighbors are too far out of range to even think of using our Net. But i set it up anyways with a 10 Digit Password, and connected him.. I then had to spend the next 2 hours Connecting and Disconnecting him to show him that When you are Connected it says "Connected" and that it was Security Enabled.. And when you are not connected it says "Security Enabled Network" eventually i got tired of him and said that the government decided to make it illegal to lock your router because they like driving in their black vans checking for illegal stuff... he then shut off the laptop and i haven't heard anything about the net from him for 2 weeks... Gotta love Gullible old farts.

Well that's one way to do it...
My girlfriend was creating a report and created a different word document for each section. When she realized that she needed to include page numbers, instead of combining them into one document she proceeded to print out 96 pages with only the page numbers on them. Then, insert the pages back into the printer and print each document on top of them.

"Did you call me?"
I work at a furniture store, and sometimes I'm asked to ride shotgun on one of the delivery trucks. The driver is in his 50's and a bit eccentric. 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 »

Hot Spot
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.

Write it down.
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?"
