My favorite is when someone tells me that they are too old to learn about new technology, or that they can't use a device because they aren't very tech-y. No, you just refuse to learn.

Clicking OK without reading the box.

It won't work, I get an error.

What's the error say?

Let me try again. Ok it says enter a time.

Did you enter a time?

No.

    And an actual search engine... Not an LLM prompt. A plain regular search engine!

    Put the error wording in quotes. Scroll past the AI LLM response they force at the top. That first result under there almost certainly gives you the answer.

    You've met my mother in law, I see. And my dad. Why do they do that? It must be an age thing.
