... But... But that's not how it works!
Topic: Miscellaneous 2:28 pm EDT, Apr 14, 2008

King of the Hill isn't usually funny to me and as such I don't typically watch it. However Lord TiVo (peace be upon him) has decided I should watch it and every now and then there is a great exchange like this:

Father-in-law: So... you good with computer?

Khan: Yes

Father-in-law: Then puts MP3s in my watch! I want talk radio and Frank Sinatra!

Khan: uhhh errr uhhh but that's not how it works!

Father-in-law: Do it! Drag and Drop!

Khan: but I

Father-in-law: DRAG AND DROP!

Khan: But this watch isn't even digital

Father-in-law: [growls, takes back watch]

Many times I've had the [do something technically impossible] - [technology doesn't work like that] - [growls] exchange with non-technical family members and friends. Why is it non-geeks always think that it is somehow your fault that:

-There is a pause when changing channels on a digital TV stream
-The mircowave messes with the wireless network
-They have to live near a phone exchange to get DSL
-HDMI cables are so expensive
-Word can't edit PDFs
-etc
