Sysadmin’s worst client was … his mother! Until his sister called for help

Sigh some people just don't care so long as they can ask you...

My father runs to me with every friggin notification popup, you'd think he'd learn after few years to read the damn thing and think what it does..

Also teaching your parent total commander and assuming he'll understand explorer after that doesn't work. Learned it hard way.

Also quite often rather than try to understand things they make up their own imaginary ideas and rituals thinking it makes things better.

For example closing browser tab before opening new page/typing adress...

My mother on the other hand sticks to tablets and phones, sadly because those are limited and she's the one that actually asks me when something really unexpected happens... or when she can't do something.. often that something is damn annoying to do on tablet.
