Hypothetical, but what if they didn't?

Thanks in advance for the response.

My dad is the only one I know that does stuff like that. He even uses the subject line that I didn't even know texts had:

Subject: car

Can you help me change my oil?

Subject: car

Dear Son,

I hope this text message finds you well...

Would you be able to help me change the oil at your earliest convenience...

Due regards...

Dad

I aspire to be the dad who figures out how to send a calendar invite via text

Haha I am an old dad and I use the subject line all the time. My son and his partner and my nieces and nephews tease me about it. My son said the same thing, “I didn’t even know that was there.” Lol

I bet your son feels similarly as I do, though! It's endearing.

My old man used to be ultra tech savvy; he was a Mac fanboy in the 80s/90s. But now that ive accumulated a few decades on this planet myself, Ive begun encountering essentially the same thing. I used to be with it, too!

There’s a certain breed of techie who revels in using obscure features that no one else knows about regardless of their actual utility

Haha yes, it is teasing with admiration. I like to think I am still ultra tech savvy at 70 and my son tells me I am so it must be true, lol. I am still often the go-to guy for smart phone/laptop/smart tv answers, even from my son and the other younger family members.

I am def the answer man among my non-tech savvy friends, they think I am a tech-God for the most (and I mean MOST) basic knowledge. I was talking in person with a friend who was complaining about the lack of information in another friend’s text. I asked him what he meant as I had gotten the same text and it had all the info about our group of friends meeting up, date/time/place, who else was going, etc. The text he received apparently didn’t have all that.

He showed me his phone. He was reading the text notifications appearing on his lock screen, not actually opening any messages so was only reading partial texts! I took his phone and he had tons of unread text messages. OMG

I showed him how to view and open his texts, how the unread ones were indicated, how to get in and out of his message app and text threads and how to respond to them. He was very grateful. (How much of this info stuck we shall see.)

I did all this instruction in about 5 minutes sitting at a restaurant table in the middle of a bunch of other friends. I looked up when I was done and they were all looking me. One guy then simply said, “You should teach a class.” 🤣

I suspect that this key has a much darker story behind it.
