A 7 foot blow up barney the dinosaur decoration piece? 

The latest for me, is my mother calling me to ask why her computer mouse doesn't work (while shouting that it's a piece of crap and what not), when I get there, I find she managed to plug the USB mouse in the Ethernet port of her laptop.. Couldn't help facepalming in front of her.

so this one time I was hanging out with my friend who is the manager at a tech shop by where I live and a girl comes in and buys a 2tb hard drive. we let her know that we install hard drives for $1 (the cost of the sata cable we use) and she says "just because I am a woman does not mean I cant work on computers" and leaves in a huff. two days later she comes back in saying that the HDD is not working so we take the computer in to look at it, we open it and the HDD is nowhere to be seen, so we ask her where it is. and it turns out that she scanned it and put the scanned image on her desktop to install the drive. and to top that off she threw away the drive she paid almost $200 for and she wanted us to give her a new one.

Customer walks into the IT shop I worked at. She looks around (Computers and gadgets everywhere) . She walks to the counter and asks me if we sell clothes.

I just had an amazing idea for a video, what if you could remove the temp limit of a video card and run if maxed out without cooling to see if it could set on fire. That would be the coolest video ever. Maybe like an older card would be able to do this. Please can we try get this idea through to Linus.

This a million times Dad: My laptop is slow Paul
Me: Shall I have a look at it then?
Dad: No no it's fine

So, here's my experiences, that I can come to think of now:
 
- After I've fixed a computer for a friend or relative, they always blame me for every future problem.
- Two guys were talking in an MMORPG I used to play, and one of them said that he overclocked his hard drive and his computer is now more than twice as fast.
- Whenever I tell someone that I like computers and technology, they always assume I just post stuff on Facebook and play Farmville all day long.
- My mom freak out every time an email from someone she doesn't know, slips through the spam filter and end up in her inbox. Something worth mentioning is that she use hotmail, so she freaks out a lot.
 
Edit: fixed the formatting.

my aunt who is constantly complaining about her slow Pentium 4 computer, and when people tell her to buy a new one already, she says "no its fine."

Hopefully it comes with a replaceable car battery and some freebies like portable car battery and multi-meter stylus.

I'm not sure what the never ending fascination with Mars is. It's a dead rock that never had much potential to begin with. I wish they'd put more resources into more promising en devours like moon bases, probing subsurface oceans of the various moons around our solar system or a dedicated mission to learning more about the weather patterns on Titan.
 
It's hard to get excited about this red ball.

I said I totally nailed it.
You guys are fucking welcome. 
 

Seems like a lot of effort (and "science") has gone into making the following statement: "iPhone users are dicks".
