I find it hilarious from time to time that my wife is so technologically challenged. I have, on several occasions, tried to show her the more day to day things that she needs to operate the technology that she has. She refuses to learn.
A little history.....
She tells me all the time that she knows enough to be able to do what she needs done. Translated, that means "I know how to look up things on the internet and read my email". She get's frustrated way too easy.
Just a few months ago, she came to me and said, "honey, ever since our son has been using my laptop for his school work, I have been getting junk mail on my email from porn sites". I explained to her that it probably wasn't our son because for anyone to be able to send you junk mail, they must have your email to do so and that they could not get your email from your IP address on your computer. It was more of her signing up for coupons from her favorite stores and them selling her address than anything. She said, "no, I am sure that our son is responsible for this". So to satisfy her curiosity, I checked her history and nothing. To satisfy My curiosity I also checked her email and guess what I found? Yep, you guessed it, emails from every store you can think of offering her coupons from clothes to dog food.
She still doesn't believe me.......
With that said, here is an actual conversation that we had tonight:
Speaking of coupons, my lovely wife loves to use coupons for groceries. She has the whole coupon process down to a science. And believe me, it is a process. I have seen her in action. It is very impressive. I have seen her go to the grocery store and buy $150 worth of food and only pay $60 for it. She is amazing.
With that said, not only does she get coupons from the paper, she also get's them off of the internet. The only bad thing about this, for her, is that they will only allow you to download a certain amount of the same coupon during a certain time frame.
So, she was sitting down tonight doing her coupons for the week and started to download the coupons that she wanted. Several of the coupons that she wanted popped up an error message and said that "you have already downloaded your limit of this coupon". After arguing with her laptop for several minutes, she turned to me, and with a straight face said, "someone has hacked into my computer and stole some of my coupons"! I thought that I was going to pee on myself from laughing! I thought she was kidding. She was dead serious!
I tried to explain to her that no one could hack into her computer and "steal" her coupons. She said "now I understand how these people are getting everything free. They hack into peoples computers and steal their stuff". Hilarious.
This story will have it's own chapter in "the book" eventually. I love my wife!
