Today, I realized the only reason my phone ever rings is because someone needs help with their computer. FML

Technologically challenged
Today, my aged mother continued to complain about her computer issues to me. A relative, who is good at tech support, won't bother servicing her computer because whatever she does ends up bogging it down the next day, so I have to hear about it on the phone. FML

Today, I called my cell phone tech support to help with my Samsung device. They sent me contact info for Apple support. FML

Today, due to technical problems, I had to call the company's IT-support as my computer went totally haywire. I explained via phone that I couldn't access anything. The support then tried contacting me by e-mail and got upset with me when I didn't answer. FML

Today, I was calling my cable company to tell me how to fix my internet. I stayed on hold for almost half an hour, and then when someone finally picked up, my phone died. FML

Today, I was giving a lecture to my class I heard a phone go off. Aggravated and exhausted, I asked everyone to turn their phones off. Then the phone rang again. I lost my shit and spent the next half hour calling my students a bunch of "technology whores". Then I realized the phone was mine. FML

Today, I called tech support because my new computer wasn’t turning on. After a long while on the phone, they finally asked if it was plugged in. It wasn’t. I spent way too long troubleshooting with a dead device because I never plugged it into the outlet. FML

The arrogance of youth
Today, as always, I had to have my dad help me with my computer issues. Isn’t it supposed to be the other way around? FML

Today, after a 16-hour day fixing the computer network at my workplace, I didn't even get a "Thank you". I did, however, get people whining about how, "That computer crap never works" and, "Why do we need IT anyway?" FML

Today, my dad once again had to help me with my technological issues. Isn’t it usually the other way around? FML

Today, I was trying to turn on my computer and couldn't. I spent twenty minutes trying to figure out what was wrong when I finally called my husband for help and made him leave work. He came in, looked at the wall, and plugged it back in. The look on his face said it all. FML

I'm sure you'll find a girl that will turn your floppy disk into a hard disk.

You probably need to be more social and less awkward . Don't be the stereotypical computer guy. I know I used to be the stereotypical computer guy now not only I badass with electronics of all types. I also talk women into letting me show them my firmware and how to integrate my hardware with their software and wetware

That shit drives me nuts!!! I get the same thing with my family, I talk most of them (non nuclear) maybe once a year so I know if it's not Christmas or my birthday they need computer help. Screen them calls like bill collectors on a '94 answering machine

I can turn your software in to hardware. Then back into software.

But your 3.5" hard drive will never bring out the nostalgia like my 5.25" floppy does.

I think you've found your future career. So be somewhat thankful, but find new friends as well.

You can't turn a floppy disk into a hard drive, duh. But maybe she can help him transfer the data from a floppy to a hard drive.

Get a job involving something like that, it'll pay off since you seem like you know a thing or two.
