Today, I was assigned to be the one to teach Grandpa how to use his new smartphone. An hour in, and we're still going over volume controls. FML

AVOID TEACHING HIM RINGER DOWNLOADS!! (if you even make it that far into the lesson!) ....speaking from similar experience!

Clearly you're a terrible teacher who blames their students

I feel your pain, OP. I work in tech support and a lot of people can't even tell which browser they have up on their computer.

With all due respect, enjoy the grandparents while you have them. As of last summer, I only have one grandmother left. And yes, they can be annoying at times, but when they're gone is when you truly start to miss those moments... Good luck

OMG!!! My grandma just got her smart phone... my mom and I are currently trying to teach grandma how to use hers too... I wish you the best of luck!!

I can't even vote on this one. Be happy that you have this time to spend with your Grandpa. I wouldn't even complain on this one.

Omg your life must suck so much because you had to help someone. Such a burden on you for helping someone not everyone picks up on the simplest of things. So get over yourself don't be saying fml for helping someone

Well, my grandpa is dead. and I miss him every day. so be grateful you can even be with him, you jerk.
