One of my friends knows someone who can't remember how to load Word from one day to the next, and had to call him every day until he finally hit on making a large JPEG which was a list of instructions of what to do, and making that the screen background on the guy's computer. I pointed out that it wouldn't have taken much more time to set the guy's feet into a block of concrete and dump him into the ocean... after all, it's not as though anyone would miss him... but apparently, that sort of comment was uncalled-for, and don't I have any empathy? Hmmm... apparently not...

Best I had was when someone asked me in all seriousness "You're a computer programmer Bob, do you think you can fix my toaster?". errrr would that be running the .NET framework then?

Oh, Oh, oh!!!! App opportunity! An icon to turn on auto-sync when you're on vacation!
|
|
|
|
|
And follow on feature: to turn off auto-sync when taking naked selfies!
|
|
|
|
|
And a second app to run the first automatically for when you forget!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

It could be done! Use location services to determine when you've entered a "tourist trap". And if we can remove red-eye, I'm sure an OS-level "nipple notification" wouldn't be too hard to add to the photo app!

Is it too late to volunteer for the job of app testing monitor?

Know how you feel on this one..
Friend: So what do you do for a living?
Me: R&D Software engineer
Friend: Awesome. You are good with computers! My computer is complaining about the hard-drive and makes weird noises when I try to turn it on. But no problem you can get all of my files right?
Thinking to myself: Ok.. In reality if the hard-drive isn't completely dead I probably could get the files if I used up the last of what little free time I have to work on your computer for free.... Sarcasm: "I should totally do this!!"
Then if you say no they get mad at you or offended.

Hopefully Tenby is still there, and still gets enough daylight for photos.

Sure, that happens to us guys in tech a lot!
But it's not limited to tech: I witnessed a situation where a lady walked in a shop and told the poor guy something like "I have an old black-and-white copy of a magazine page, could you please make a colored copy for me ?"...
Just like with your phone issue, it's not technically impossible - only VERY expensive.
You can hire a boat and a diver to recover the phone, and the shop guy could use Photoshop to color the copy!

Wonder if they make it in a 50cal version?
New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0 Beta
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.
I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours!

Her Majesty the Queen is in Glasgow where she bumped into Alex Salmond.
HMtQ: How nice to see you Mr Salmond.
AS: Nice to see you Ma’am. Now, what are we going to call Scotland when we win Independence? How about calling it a Kingdom, and then I’ll be a King?
HMtQ: No, we don’t like that.
AS: What about an Empire, and I will be Emperor?
HMtQ: No. I don’t think so.
AS: OK, so how about calling it a Principality, and then I’ll be a Prince?
HMtQ: No, Mr Salmond. May I suggest we call it a Country?

so he'll be a count ???
OH I GET IT...
I'd rather be phishing!

or you could drop the 2nd letter. but that would be bad.
To err is human to really mess up you need a computer

The differenc ebetween God and Alex Salmond: God doesn't think he's Alex Salmond! (oldie but goldie!)

You live in Aberdeen and wonder why the weather is dreadful.

megaadam: Hello?
the Guy upstairs: Good Day Sir, what kind of weather would you like today?
megaadam: Nice and sunny please.
the Guy upstairs: OK Sir, but where should I put your crappy weather?
megaadam: Ah well... I am not sure. Perhaps you could stick to your regular routine?
the Guy upstairs: Yes, I suppose we can handle that. Thank you for your time. Have a nice day.
megaadam: Thank you too. Goodbye.
