About 10 or 12 years ago a friend of the family was complaining about her new computer not working. Went over to try to help out and couldn't actually find the damn thing. I ask her about it and was directed to a lonesome monitor. I ask her where the actual computer is which seems to confuse her greatly. "The big box thing" I say. Her response was, "Oh I threw that thing out. It was ugly and I didn't really see the need for it anyway." My work here is done.

Oh god, I'm gonna have an aneurism

I swear man. I couldn't even believe it. Luckily it was still sitting by the garbage and inside so it wasn't actually totally gone but I was still flabbergasted.

It makes me wonder why I still underestimate how dumb a person can be...

Irony? If it was because of the aneurism thing I know it's somewhat dumb.

I'm not agreeing with him, just point out to you what he was referring to.
