A man sat down next to me at starbucks. After five minutes he waved his hands frantically to get my attention.
Actual conversation:
Me: "yes?"
Him:"Can you help me?"
I looked at his laptop.
Me: "With the internet?"
Him: "No, with facebook. I got an email and i don't know how to reply."
He shows me his Gmail which has 55 new messages, all from facebook.
Me: "Okay click the email."
Him: "Where?"
I point.
Him: "Why can't i click here instead?"
Me: "You can click anywhere on that bar."
He clicks.
The email says: "Hi i'm Valentina frm chile be my freind." [sic]
Him: "now what?"
I sigh.
Me: "Click the link at the bottom of the email that says TO REPLY CLICK HERE"
Him: "Where?"
Me: "In the yellow box."
Him: "You mean the red box?"
Me: "No, I think it's yellow."
Him: "Show me."
I point at the YELLOW box.
Me: "Click the link."
Him: "What's a link?"
Me: "The blue underlined text that links to facebook," at which point i take the laptop and click it for him.
Him: "It wants me to log in. Should i click keep me logged in?"
Me: "If you want to."
.... At this point two pitbulls humping each other go past the window.
Him: "I guess I should go get my dogs." He gets up to tie them up, which was my cue to exit.
