So we just moved, and my mom flew up to our old house to day to get rid of the last few things inside
she can not figure out how to unlock the garage door
I've unlocked it but I just kind of fiddle with it until it opens so I don't really know how to explain it to her
it's one of those ones where it's a sliding bar that sticks into the track that the door moves on
and on one end of it is a small metal box with two small levelers, one sticking out of the top and one from the bottom
I know you do something with those two levers but she has evidently been fiddling with them for over an hour and can't figure it out
so does someone possibly know how to do this
google is unhelpful because apparently most people don't have any trouble with operating a simple mechanical device

some pictures would help, I think
e: a delightful illustration of what I'm imagining
If Mom Racer can't figure this out she has no business beig the matriarch of the illustrious Racer clan.
My mother in the past ten years has become so technologically illiterate she can't operate a DVd player that's already hooked up to a TV.
Literally two button presses on a remote.
the lock was a little rusty so it was hard to turn
she got it though

i went into the garage to help take out the wine and dead center in the backwall, as the first thing you would see if you drove your car in
was a poorly drawn picture of kakashi from naruto
there was no indication that anyone who had lived in that house was under 30
Satans..... hints.....
I would love to see a picture of that poorly drawn kakashi
ill PM it to you later as well as the frog whose life i saved from that same event (@antimatter did i ever send you the frogpic)
quantum computing

and yet nobody appreciated my joke
My mother actually took down notes on how to do this.
They are on giant loose-leaf paper that is taped to the side of the computer stand.

watching him hunt and peck for letters with his index finger was brutally painful
grabbing his phone and imitating using both thumbs, the look on his face was that of the caveman discovering fire, the wheel, and a chimpanzee using a stick to fish for ants all at once
I just had a dream wherein I played a flute.
Does that mean I am gay?

I literally cannot be in the same room while my mom is typing
she's been using a computer for longer than I've been alive and she still does two fingered pecking, and slowly too
just
urgh
depends
was the flute covered in skin?
I am honestly contemplating telling both of my parents to just use Bing instead because it seems more idiot proof.

I don't think so.
I was also the assistant coach to a little league team, though.
If that helps.
how can you be a bad searcher on Google
I was searching for "what does bill murray whisper at the end of lost in translation" the other day, and after "what does", one of the autocomplete options was "what does my name mean"
I laughed pretty hard
agree
because she wanted to print a 4x6 of some 100x80 picture that she had reduced at one point to 'save space'
she has a 750gb hard drive on her laptop
STEAM!
She used to have my sister or I check her email for her because doing it herself was intimidating. She was afraid that clicking in the wrong place or hitting the wrong key on the keyboard would real the computer or something.
My father didn't help, since he would act like an expert on all things while saying it was my video games that were putting viruses on the computer, not the weird porn sites he was visiting.
All dads are the same in this
