So I know we all have parents, relatives, grandparents, and non tech savvy coworkers. I want to hear the stories that make you grit your teeth in hate for their general computer illiteracy.

Like the day when my mom learned she would copy and paste shiz? She didnt leave the computer for a week.

"Why do i have to pay for internet when I have to plug the computer into the wall for power?"

Or one time my dad was playing this card game on the computer. The computer got slower as he played it, over the course of like a year or so. Eventually the computer (a Compaq, with Windows ME :barf it kept overheating and we didnt know that. So we took it to the computer repair man and it developed hairline cracks in the motherboard because of the overheating. On the way home, my dad got on my case for installing so many games on it. Mind i was twelve and i had like 2 games. Sega Smash Pack 2 and Age of Empires 2.
He said the computer crashed because I had too much installed on it and that all the weight of my games cracked the motherboard.
WTF dad. So later i when we got a new computer i saw him playing the card game again.
This went on for a few years and eventually i started downloading things. One day i checked when my download went, into the download folder. Along with it i found the other few things ive downloaded, as well as OVER 500 COPIES OF THE CARD GAME MY DAD PLAYED.
Every time he played it, he would download it. Every effing time. Shizzz man.
