I T.... (Idiot Technology.) Fails...

So I'm sitting at my laptop, answering emails.. I notice a spelling mistake so touch my screen to move the cursor to the right place. It doesn't move. Try again... Same thing.. Five minutes I try. Then I remember my laptop doesn't have a touch screen. Doh.

Would like to hear others technology fails or faux pas..might make me feel a wee bit less like a dafty.

I regularly try to open our security door with my pin number.

Also sent a company wide email with my home number. Cue lots of confused messages.

I use my phone for everything and if im stuck i take it down to local shop and ask for help. Man in shop turned out to be on Fab and saw my account (i dont log out ) and messaged me the same day. How embarrassing.

We used to close off non-technical/training calls with the title of;

Computer User Non Technical until the Service Managers caught onto the acronym.

I hate tech, I’m rubbish with it all.

I sometimes struggle to switch my laptop on!

I do this every time I am helping my buddy out at his store, I have touch screen and he doesn't. Will prod his screen 5-10 times a day when I'm in, sometimes only couple of minutes apart.

When i got my Google home mini, I thought I'd try out its calling feature, so asked it to phone my parents.

Somehow, it decided to phone one of my previous bosses (whom i did not get on with)

Panicked as i tried to think how tha feck do you quickly hangup on a buttonless smart speaker???

We had to take the stapler off a lass at work as for some reason she kept mistaking it for a mouse.
