Pretty sure every tech person at some point or another has had to do exactly that. And not just their mom, but their dad, and their extended family, and their parent’s friends who have a random problem, etc

And why? Because none of them can read the fucking manual! And you'll say they don't try, but many of them have tried. Once. And all they learned was that it wouldn't do them any good.

Because the manual often doesn't cover what they're trying to do, or finding reliable information online is it's own struggle.
