Generational gaps...

What was I thinking?????  I had just learned how to sort of use my phone.  So why did I need to get a new one?  

I'm sure the guy at the V*rizon store is wondering the same thing.  The second guy I talked to at that particular store this week and don't forget today is only Tuesday.  Does anybody know why they hire middle schoolers?  All I really wanted was to be able to call, answer, look at my fb, emails and play solitaire every great once in a while.  

Solitaire......that was the big problem.  The little boy at the store said I had to have wifi to load solitaire.

Me.......that's crazy.....

Store guy..... why don't you just play at St*rb*cks??? 

That's when I said never mind, took my new and very complicated phone and left the store.

I may have been to that overpriced coffee shop four times since it first came into existence and I feel quite sure that I won't be going there using their wifi to play solitaire on my cell phone.  In case you can't read between the lines, that last line was typed in a kind of hysterical way.  

To top that, there was a full page ad for a new supplement to make losing weight easy!  Not that I need to lose weight...... I thought I would just check it out!  Mistake, big mistake.

 I knew better, but yes, I plunged right in and asked about the advertised supplement and he proceeded to tell me that for it to really work I would need another supplement plus this shake mix.

Me.....well.....maybe I'll just try the pills..

Mr. Body builder......if you're really serious about losing the weight .....I'm not sure what he meant by that.....you'll need the other things too.

Me....you know what?  I don't think I'm really serious... I put the miracle drug back on the shelf and waddled out of the store indignantly.

So simply put, I'm a slightly overweight, almost elderly woman who is challenged by any new technology.

Color me frustrated!
