MOVE


Today was the first day of uni. Only had one class, but it was no less nerve-wracking.

Afterward, I went to the library to check on the book I've been stalking on eBay for one of my classes. While sulking about how many times it'd been bid on since I'd last seen it, the man using the computer next to me asked for help on how to delete his messages. He was one of those "continuing education" people. I mean, I don't have anything against them. Hell, more power to them. But they also seem to be the most computer-retarded people I've ever met besides my own mother.

The thing that got me was that he kept right clicking. As if every problem could be solved by right clicking and choosing something from that little window. I admit, that'd save a lot of trouble, but he was incessant with that freaking button. I think he thought they had to be pressed together. How cute.

"If you click that top box, it'll check all your messages for you."
"Oh, alright."
Clicks the box, and despite all the messages being selected, he then right clicks just to be safe.
"Hmm..'Select All', that's what I'm tryin' ta do!"
Click. Now everything is highlighted.

He does that 2 more times. It was all I could do from going Nick Burns on him.

We eventually figured it out. He was nice about it too, I really just need to have more patience with everyone. I could blame it on me being hyped up with it being the first day and all, but I generally have little patience with people who don't know what they're doing anyway.

P.S. inb4 Macs. Still would've found a way to not understand.
