I try to remember that my parents taught me how to use a spoon, and that I need to try to be kind and helpful.

And that's probably how they felt teaching you manners when you were little.
TheQueenOfTheSloths
They were teaching your dumb baby ass how to use a spoon at one point so chill and be patient.
NAbsentia
That's what they looked like the last forty times you shit your pants before you figured out how to shit in a toilet.

Nalianna

Its even more fun when they tell you that they did what you told them but they really didnt. Makes the troubleshooting challenging.

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.

My spoon doesn't regularly get viruses from spoon related porn websites though...

ElonMustToke
And they knew what they were getting into

I know it can be difficult, but only patience can help. Also, explain where everything is. "Bottom left corner" and such

“Boy, I’ve been using computers longer than you’ve been alive.” -Dad, same man who calls me to order something on Amazon for him.

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

Or that you know how to use Excel.

Fuck, I've been telling people about all three. Thanks for this!

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