Trying to explain tech to your grandparents is the WOAT

[Killigraphy]

Used to work Apple tech support from home...

Guess who I talked to 90% of the time?

Guess who took their own ignorance out on me everyday?

Get much Brazilians? or any group of spanish people who try and say "gigs" or more precisely "jiga"

My stepmother wants me to fix her computer and set up her surround sound and show her how to use it....

Its gonna be a long weekend.

You better hope she doesn't want the cables hidden

You better hope she doesn't want the cables hidden

When you start drilling holes; "Oh I thought you could hide them without putting them in the walls"

Smooth jumping the fukk outta there

Its already bad enough I'm giving up my Saturday for this shyt but my old man is the one that nudged me and told me to do it for him b/c she keeps buggin him. He still has a flip phone too. I tried to show him how to use an IPhone and the shyt was just a syntax error of epic proportions. His mind could not register it not having physical buttons. It was like a cat trying to use a phone. He looked at the phone for 10 minutes before trying to use it and said fukk it I'm going back to the store and getting my old flip phone. I swear he thinks some kind of technosorcery is going on with Iphones and all smartphones.

my grandmother was always mad nervous using the PC, like if she hit the wrong key the computer would blow up or some shyt

may she rest in peace

Ma dukes calls me to say how the computer is not working, I sit at the desk just to realize the batteries in the wirless mouse are dead and that's why she thinks it's frozen.

My mom asks me basic stuff. I taught my mom in law how to cut and paste. My stepfather buys all this apple shyt then calls me over to teach him how to you use. He be at the apple store in chicago, denying presentations on some 'my stepson is going to teach me this better than you shyt'

Might be annoying but you know you got the upmost respect from him. He chooses you over what he'd percieve to be pros

My grandparents are reasonably good with computers...must run in the family.

My grandma might call for help with installing Java or getting rid of a virus, but she doesn't really have any trouble with basic stuff like emailing people, buying stuff online, or watching Youtube. My parents are pretty tech-saavy too. I put Teamviewer on my mother/grandmother/sister's computers so I can just remote in and fix minor issues.


I regret the day somebody taught my mother how to use an address book though. She forwards me all kinds of crap I'm not interested in and refuses to stop...

My mother in law is constantly calling me about something. Almost every time I go over her house she got some thing technology related to ask me. I brought her a windows for dummies as a joke gift one Christmas but she ended up liking it and uses it before she calls me with a problem

I went back home recently and my dad was complaining about the printer not working with his new pc. Come to find out it wasn't plugged in to pc because he thought if the printer is wireless there is no installation required.

My mom didn't even know how to send a text message until a couple years ago.
