Do you sometimes lose your patience when dealing with a co worker or friend who is barely capable of using a computer or smart phone? (self.asklemmy)

It's maddening.

Although, I started to theorize that since computers work with magnetic fields, and humans can affect those fields, perhaps some people just break shit being around it.

I started thinking this when, one day, a friend of mine who just had a shit time with computers came over and needed to do something on my computer. I told him exactly what to do, and he did it. Shit didn't work. Huh? I watch him do it again, exactly as I told him. Doesn't work. WTF? Lemme try. Do the same exact thing but this time it works.

Shit, man, I guess it just doesn't like you. 🤷🏻‍♂️
