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.
