Alright, listen up people. Everyone needs to recognize that the younger generations can actually be smarter than the old. OK? Especially when it comes to computers! So before you start treating younger people as if they're inferior, take in consideration that some of us are smarter than you in at least one way. GRRRR!

Judging by the post in the age thread, at 26 I'm more or less an old person in this forum. Accordingly, I've come to teach you young, drug addled, sex-crazy, whippersnappers a lesson. In my day, we would crack you in the head with a hot iron (the old fashion iron irons- the ones without the knobs or water compartments) for such disrespect. Computers, eh? Well, I let me whip out my abacus and show you how it's really done. Think you know something grandpa Steppen doesn't? Well, I know that I'll poke you in the eye with my cane if you don't keep your booze guzzling mouth shut. I'll take out my teeth and gum you until you scream. Aarrgh, where's my prune juice when I need it???

I just wanted to set up their new computers quickly, but noooooooooooooo, they don't listen to what the hell I say.Please unpack your computers, every single teacher didn't have it unpacked. Please find a place to put it, when I get in there they give me shit for interrupting their class to find a place. It took me 2 days to do a 6 hour job, and for the 2 days I was there, every single computer problem that came up was my fault even though what I was doing had NOTHING to do with what they were complaining about. I despise that friggin' school now. I drive 30 minutes cuz that school is out in the boonies to help out and all I get is shit cuz they think I'm inferior, and only because of my age. The media specialist e-mails my co-worker (35 year old female who hasn't even worked here as long as I have) and asks if she needs to have her come out there and fix my messes. My co-worker e-mails me and understands the shit that they are complaining about has nothing to do with what I'm doing, but doesn't understand why the media specialist has to e-mail her to confirm everything. I can tell you why, because the biotch thinks I'm dumb and I don't know what I'm doing, even after I showed her how to do like 10 things cuz she wouldn't stop asking me questions so i could do my job.Maybe I should have my boss send out orders that I want done. Otherwise, if I ask them to do something, it won't get done because I'm inferior. WTF

In all seriousness, computers are a totally different language for some people. They simply cannot understand problems, and they cannot comprehend that you (the knowledgable one) aren't the source. It sucks, but it's something that just happens in the tech world- some people get it, and some people are REALLY DUMB about it.

Hey gramps, argue with me when you're not constipated.True, but they know how to take stuff out of a box, and they know how to find a place to put the computer. They didn't even do that. None of em'!

and your point is??

Most the young people are going through experiances that the old people have already been through.We've heard the ol' 'am i gay?' and the 'are my breasts normal' and the 'white stuff comes outta my dick, what the fuck!?!' posts a million times it gets annoying.I think i fit into the middleaged part of this forum personally.Generally, proper old people 70+ smell of piss 'n' biscuits anyhow. Like there gonna complain.
