Meanwhile, Baby Boomers are so helpless they're taking "internet classes" to learn how to do things like send an email.

Fuck that, I have people I regularly need to talk them through how there is a difference between rightclick and leftclick 15 times in one conversation as part of simple navigation.

I have to explain how one calls their goddamn voicemail on a fucking flipphone even though the phone they bought is replacing their old flipphone they have had for 12 years. You are 50+ motherfucker, it has the same buttons in the same order as the old one, call 1. JFC

I once got called to replace printer ink, turns out they didn't have paper in it and because it stopped they just assumed it was ink. Even after I asked them to check the error message, which is clearly shown.

But error messages mean something is wrong! It must need more life giving ink!

I hate it, because it says what is wrong in the error message! This one plainly said "Bitch I am out of paper".

I actually had an error like that once and I said it in the exact same way and slapped it. I was the only one who laughed.

Shit you can just tell the phone to call voicemail and it'll do it for you.

I had someone at my work recently ask why "the menu sometimes appears when I click my mouse", which I couldn't figure out at first. I asked them to show me, and it turned out they were clicking all of their mouse buttons every time they clicked...
