Its even more fun when they tell you that they did what you told them but they really didnt. Makes the troubleshooting challenging.
TheQueenOfTheSloths
They were teaching your dumb baby ass how to use a spoon at one point so chill and be patient.

Words of wisdom to live by, never tell anyone you know how to fix computers, houses, or cars. You'll be happier that way.

Instead of keeping your knowledge for yourself, it’s better to share it with grateful people. Will make you happier in life.

Don't ever forget, they once taught you how to use a spoon ;)
Computers have been in homes for over 25 years. Imagine an adult not understanding how a microwave works.
greymarch2000
But do you call them every few months to demand why the spoon isn't working as a fork now?
