My printer wouldn't turn on a few weeks ago, so I had my poor assistant on the phone with HP tech support for over 30 mins. Turns out that the part that plugs into the AC adapter wasn't plugged in. It LOOKED plugged in on the printer side and also on the other end that goes into the wall... in my defense, the unplugged part was behind a bookshelf! </p> <p>My assistant apologized profusely to the guy on the phone for the "2 girls and a computer moment", hahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parents-and-technology#post-361478 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 18:56:37 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 361478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL that's so funny. My mom and dad are both really technologically savvy, so no funny things there. MIL is quite horrible, and it's hilarious to see her borrow FILs phone to text. Her emails are also funny.. sooo many typos and dots everywhere.</p> <p>My Grandma is bad! She has facebook, and all of a sudden I saw that she was going to my friends Jack N Jill! She found the event, and clicked "attending" without ever being invited! SO FUNNY! </p> <p>THEN she tagged herself in a picture of me, and her and her old lady friends start commenting on the pictures saying "wow! doesn't (aunts name) everlook like (grandmas name)" the pictures was of ME not my AUNT! LOL it was soooooo funny. that is why old people should not have FB! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parents-and-technology#post-361458 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 18:50:10 +0000 prettylizy 361458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First off @zippylef: thats awesome!! lol!!</p> <p>Second, my mom has an awesome e-mail voice that doesn't include any punctuation or capital letters. There are lots of run on sentences, and usually she finishes it off with 'love mom' but will think of something else to say, so instead of going back and adding another non sentence, she will just tack it on after the love mom and then add another love mom at then end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parents-and-technology#post-361439 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 18:45:25 +0000 blackbird 361439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents take the cake for ridiculous emails. i should start a tumblr, I'm not even joking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parents-and-technology#post-361388 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 18:34:20 +0000 Cole 361388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both my mom and mil still seem to think that text messages must be as short as humanly possible and therefore use the fewest characters they can get away with. The way they text you would think they get charged by the letter! It is often unreadable or comes off as though they are peeved about something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parents-and-technology#post-361333 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 18:15:30 +0000 ladyfingers 361333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL! When my dad texts me, he shouts. "THX" "GOOD TO SEE YOU WE HAD FUN" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parents-and-technology#post-360610 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:16:09 +0000 loveisstrange 360610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Texting my mom is like talking to a 13-year-old girl. My grandma called me one time to tell me her printer was broken... when I went to fix it I discovered that it was unplugged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parents-and-technology#post-360587 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:11:34 +0000 aprk 360587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My guess is that he's using a different keyboard, with the standard marks in Italian. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parents-and-technology#post-360554 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:03:31 +0000 mediagirl 360554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got this email today from my Mom and Dad who have been traveling through the Mediterranean for a couple of weeks. It just cracked me up, I had to share.</p> <p>Subject: Gravel.<br /> We are crurent l'y off our Cruise and in à hotel in Venice ! Catching thé train tomorrow for Florence it just keepsake getting better. </p> <p>I think he needs help learning the keyboard....and don't ask me how he accidentally started putting accents on all of his a's and e's. :)</p> <p>Do you get ridiculous phone emails or texts from your parents like this, as well? </p>
