Oh brother!!

So I am sitting here at the library, a couple of days ago and this really dorky looking guy(skinny, big nose, glasses, bad hair) comes over to get on one of the other computers. He is trying to log onto some account he has with craigslist. Soon, he asks for assistance from someone at the library because as he puts it, he is a computer idiot and know nothing whatsoever about them, the internet or even how he got his accout with craigslist or hotmail, which was his email account. I guess from what I overheard, he couldn't remember his email address or password. He was asking the library ladies how he could retrieve those things. Anyway I found it humorous enought to eavesdrop on and quietly laugh about. He kept saying things like "I am so stupid, this is my punishment from God for not learning computers" and "As soon as I leave here I am enrolling in computer classes so I can get smart about this". By the way I think he was probably in is early to mid 30's. Then he starts yelling about how "It's not fair that everything comes with instruction manuels but not library computers!!" On and on. He even directed some of his comments at other's at the computers nearby him. All of them trying desperately to ignore him and continue with their work. The library ladies tryed to tell him to just set up another hotmail and craigslist account but he kept saying he didn't know how. "So how did you set them up in the first place" they asked him. "I don't know" he said.

Anyway I just found this whole thing funny and a little sad. How could he not have any idea how to work a computer? Now I am no computer genuis but I do know how to set up an email and obviously a blogger account. No one showed me how. I thought it was pretty easy. They give you no brainer, step by step instructions. I mean there are a lot of things a lot harder than starting a hotmail or a yahoo email account.

He ended up storming out of the library saying "I give up, I GIVE UP!!!"

I wonder if he ever signed up for a computer class.
