Watching my dad right-click, and select "Copy" from the popup menu...
-
I don't watch my dad use the computer anymore as I feel the same as the one in the comic.
That time I saw him log in to his yahoo email (tldr; my dad uses google to go to yahoo)
- Open Chrome (which I set google.com as the homepage)
- Type in yahoo.com to the search bar
- Click yahoo.com from the results
- Click on the Mail button thing somewhere in that page
Or that one time I asked him to login to to gmail account while he was browsing his yahoo email. (tldr; my dad does not believe in tabs)
- Close his Chrome browser with the yahoo email.
- Open Chrome again
- Type in gmail in the google search bar
- Click mail.google.com from the results.
-
This was painful to read. :|
-
Oh... Oh No. Closing the entire browser to open a new tab. I don't blame you at all for not being able to watch.
-
This just made me miss my dad so much. Pain.
-
I read the TL;DRs knowing what was going to happen only to continue reading and feel physical pain. What’s wrong with me…

There was a recurring gag on Parks And Rec about Pawnee internet users needing Altavista so they could use it to navigate to Google. That joke felt very real.
-
When you check your email, you go to AltaVista and type "please go to yahoo.com"?

The horror!

I can understand parents. My mom was an office admin before computers and she could type 130+ wpm on a typewriter, but she struggles with things like this. Bless her, I'm happy to help her whenever she needs. My dad was a DOS beast in his day but he can't help himself from adding sketchy browser extensions.
Now, when I run into peer "engineers" that use computers like this.... That I cannot forgive
-
At least he right-clicked instead of going for the menu at the top!
-
My Dad has had a post-it note above his computer for years, "Crl-C Copy, Crl-V Paste"
-
Imagine using the menu key and always using the shortcut in the popup menu...
