Why Is It So Hard For Older People To Work The Tv Remote


Why is it so hard for young people to work on a car, do carpentry, plumbing, etc?

When the bag phones came out our kids were playing T-Ball. There was a hotshot lawyer parent on the team. He brought his phone to the bleachers one night and made a big deal about an important call coming in that he couldn't miss.

I sat for a minute and then asked him if he would do us a favor. He said sure and I asked if he could order all of us a pizza on his bag phone.


He was the only one who didn't think that was funny.

I used to get so frustrated with my mom, trying to instruct her how to find the ballgame before kickoff. It got so bad I was having to call a hour before kickoff. Ended up being the first stages of dementia. Seven years later she didn’t even know who she was and died. Don’t be like I was and get frustrated...you’ll regret it later.

Damn, a little prick started the thread thinking it would be a cool "I'm young and old people are stupid" thread (it wasn't), but you went full on depressing.

I'm gonna call my parents later once I recover.

I don't think anybody is confusing a delivery driver job as being high tech

This is how grandpa's zingers stories get started.

He mumbled something to whoever was sitting next to him that the lawyer should order them pizza. Now he's all "he was such a complete a-hole and I put his overeducated arse in his place!"

Soon his attempted dig at you will morph into "he was watching the game at the bar and some ups driver was making fun of the bartender not being able to work the TV's"

I tried to explain to a 20 something year old friend of my son how to make a antenna to receive HDTV off the air, he didn't think it was possible and even if was, it would be illegal to do it.
