Yeah, that's so true. I have to print it out and put it on my wall or something.

So true, so true. You may want to add "computer-challenged salespeople-at-the-mall" to grandparents, parents, co-workers. lol

Have you ever had one of those experiences?




Your Mom: I'm gonna check the online catalog for that dress. Oh cool! They have a computer here to view their catalog!



5 minutes later:

Your Mom: I wonder where that skirt is. I'll ask the salesperson.

Your mom calls the salesperson.

Salesperson: How may I help you?

YM: I can't find the "black-pleated skirt" on here

SP: Well, I'll just look in the skirts section, OK?

YM: OK



You go look at some thing while their trying to find it. 10 minutes later their on page 14 of 600 of dresses.

You: Excuse me, but isn't there a search bar up there?

SP: Oh my, there is! But... isn't that to search the internet? The one on google does.

You: This searches the website, I think (know)

SP searches for "black pleated skirt". It comes right up.




In the car:

YM: Don't be so impolite! She was trying her best.

You: I was only trying to help.

YM: she could have found it without you though.

You let it stay at that.

My mom:
"WHERE'D IT GO!?!??!?!" when I minimized a window
"Don't delete it!" when I clicked Save
"I can't get on the Internet!" when IE is open
"How can I access this document?" when the link couldn't be clearer
"Will the server go down?" if IE is closed when she's on Facebook
"How do I turn off the computer?" when there is a large red power symbol button in the lower right corner
Quote from: A conversation
Me: *talking about my IRC projects*
Mom: What's IRC?
Me: It's an online chat system where you can talk to people all over the world.
Mom: Do you talk to strangers?
Really Mom?... Well, by now, Juju and friends aren't strangers anymore XP
