I feel like too many people take being corrected like this as a sign that I’m trying to be condescending when, to me, it’s a simple courtesy I hope other people extend to me as well when I mess up.
A lot of people correct others not out of courtesy. Maybe this mom has been burned too many times before.
Moms get a pass.
I talked to a customer the other day at work who kept saying he’d connected his phone to the “wee fee”.
I’ve been in IT over 20 years and I say “wee fee.”
Eee tee guy ^
I love the conspiracy lady who tells everyone that Bill Gates wants you to get vaccinated because he wants you to eat the meat grown in a Peach tree dish
My mom likes to say “you wouldn’t know what ___ is if it weren’t for me!” Whenever this happens
I just had a conversation with my mom where she brought up the spoon thing when I complained I’m just here free IT guy. I told her “yeah, but i fucking learned. That either means I’m way smarter than you or you’re just an old dog that can’t learn new tricks”.
She’s your fucking mom dude.
In Germany we have a saying
“Alter schützt vor Torheit nicht”
Translated: Age (or expetience from age) doesnt save you from being a moron.
Can confirm. Am old. Am also a moron.
