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.

to riff off your example, what's an account? is there a bank involved or should I get in contact with my financial advisor? Did I get mail about the accounts? perhaps some kind of ID card came for me in the mail?

what's an account?

my point still remains. not only were you asking him to understand what an account is, but also the nuances between different accounts and what they do. like knowing what the difference is between a Facebook and email account is.

you take your historical knowledge of technology for granted. one day, sooner than you think, you're going to be that old man ranting about how nothing works and technology sucks.

    To clarify, I was asking for his M$ account details. And when I needed to get the verification codes out of his email, he kept giving me a password for what he thought was a working account.
