Computer stupidities: Calls from hell

[FS]

There's probably some scientific explanation to it, but some people just don't have the necessary brain tools to work a computer. Or maybe it's just a personality thing, and they balk at needing to figure things out for themselves.

Last year I was in an all-round multimedia course (webdesign, 3D modelling/animation, desktop publishing, etcetera), and there was this one guy who always needed help. I couldn't understand what he was doing there, he didn't seem to really enjoy any of it, nor did he mean to do much with it in his future career.
My parents have very little feeling for computers, though they at least try. I'm just glad my dad rarely does anything with his computer (even though he recently bought a whole new one), because I really wouldn't want to bail him out if he gets himself stuck in some sneaky net porn scheme.

That first conversation has someone actually asking how they're supposed to turn on their computer. That's not even stupidity anymore, that's insane laziness. Read a fucking manual.
