Experiences with non-techies

I almost forgot but earlier today an elderly man was talking to me and he refereed to a computer as "Window". And I thought it was somewhat humorous because not only was he trying to  refer to a computer by the OS he was using but he called it Window not Windows. Not a very big mistake but one that gave me a slight tickle inside.

Not really a "non-techie" but I swear this exact conversation occurred in the middle of math class between me and my math teacher who is also the "IT Guy" at our school (sadly). Anyway, at the start of the year he told everybody to get 3 of your friends phone numbers so that if you forget your textbook or binder at school you can still complete your homework. So, my friend forgot to bring his textbook home one day and when he came to school the next day the teacher asked why he didn't finish. He said that he had called me but I never picked up. The thing is, he didn't call my number, he called me on Google Hangouts. At the time my phones Wi-Fi wasn't working (and still isn't :(). I thought it was because of my custom ROM at the time. So my math teacher turns to me and goes:

 

Teacher: Why didn't you answer his phone call?

Student: Because the Wi-Fi on my phone doesn't work.

Teacher: Why?

Student: I tried putting a custom ROM on it and I guess it messed up during installation.

Teacher: What? A custom ROM? Why do you need a custom ROM?

Student: Because Touchwiz uses like 1.7GBs or RAM with all the background apps.

Teacher: So? How much RAM does your phone have?

Student: 2GBs.

Teacher: So? Isn't 300MBs enough RAM? What are you doing on your phone that needs 300MBs of RAM? (Are you kidding me?)

Student: Just... stuff? I don't know, I do a lot of stuff on my phone. Watch YouTube, play games, browse the internet, etc.

Teacher: So you put another ROM on it?

Student: Yeah, I use CyanogenMod. It only uses like 1-1.2GBs now.

Teacher: What? You put a ROM to get more RAM? You're getting confused, buddy. (Arrogant prick)

Student: Yeah, I put a custom ROM, so it uses less RAM.

Teacher: Okay listen, how much ROM does your phone have? 16MBs?

Student: 16GBs.

Teacher: Whatever, why do you need a new ROM if you want more RAM? (thinks I'm talking about an actual ROM chip)

Student: No, that's not what I meant by ROM. Like, I flashed a cust--

Teacher: Listen, ROM and RAM aren't the same, buddy.

Student: I know, that's what I'm try--

Teacher: Don't argue with me okay? Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. I'm a computer guy.

 

Computer guy my ass. Idiot can't even pirate Windows properly, 60% of the PCs in our school says "This is not a genuine copy of Windows". Seriously though, I felt like throwing my damn phone at his head xD
