*giggling* Oh yes, indeed. “Have you read the manual?
I have had that bookmarked since I first saw it last year: it is perfect!
🙂
Oh man, that’s brilliant. I just sent it on my to tech folks. *giggles*
Okay, I almost wet myself laughing. I will be sharing this with SO many people! Thanks as usual, Sarah, for your great taste in humor (great = so like mine).
I saw this a while ago, and it never fails to crack me up. Mostly because I’m such a techno spaz I can TOTALLY relate to the guy on the right. Thank goodness I have techno-savvy friends to run to and save myself from complete embarrassment!
Having been on the receiving end of tech support, I can so, so relate. (Oy, my confusion! My STOOOOPID questions!)

Oh fuck. I broke something laughing.

Had not seen that. Fuckin’ A, that is so me when I get a new program! *bows* All Hail Sarah!

My son works in tech, but he says having to help me all these years taught him the most priceless lesson of all: patience.
He told me some of the lawyers he used to work for made me look gifted.
“If it says, Press any key,you can press the a, the n or the y.”
This is exxaactly like me an my dad (my dad being the one with the book…) I almost sent it to my family, but the sheer accuracy of it might get some feelings hurt. void(0);
