Older people of Reddit, what was the equivalent of teaching your grandparents to use the internet, when you were growing up?

No. You're the one with stunted perspective and reasoning. And also some angry weird need to prove yourself.

Those stories were common because they were common. Saying you didn't see those problems means nothing. I could take you back to whole floors and and teams who didn't have those issues. And then I could walk you down the stairs to a group that had them almost daily.

That's what it meant to work at a Help Desk, or in IT Support back then. Yes there was always a nerd there to witness it. That's what we fucking did all day for for 50 hours a week was bear witness to all that stuff.

Go ask an ER nurse what asinine shit they see every week. Do you see that shit ever? No. No you don't. You don't see idiots with pipe cleaners shoved up their penis's ever. Why not? Because they don't quietly come see you specifically when they do that shit that's why. They don't freaking call you. Because you don't freakin work at the genius bar. Or even the marginally perceptive bar, apparently.
