I used to work at an office where all of our documents were kept electronically. A few of my coworkers couldn't figure out how to open any file type except pdf, so whenever I added documents to the system, I'd convert anything else and add a pdf copy for them.

Another group of coworkers was infuriated by this, because they believed I was spending hours every day scanning a ton of paper documents unnecessarily, because I guess they didn't know any other way to create a pdf?

I ended up being called into a meeting with my manager to justify why I was wasting so much time scanning documents. I explained that I wasn't scanning anything, I was just opening files that we received in an electronic format and clicking "export to pdf".

He was blamed me for none of the people who complained knowing how to do this. We were all administrative staff.

Everyone here is bashing in op, but when you have to help the 50eth person who clearly doesn't even understand the fundamentals of their job, with editing a word file even tho you already sent them the tutorial, it just gets to you. But I guess I did sign up for first level support.

I recently had a hard time explaining to a coworker that the "Increase number of decimals" button in Excel doesn't work if you already exported to a CSV with only a decimal of precision. It worked on their end because they had the excel file, but I had the CSV. I managed to come up with a clever and innovative solution to the problem though; I gave up and worked on something else.

my dude, try having to do a job for someone who makes more that year than you will your entire life, and see them struggle with any simple task.

it doesn't matter the task. you will shit your gasket at the fact they will make more that year than you will your entire life, and you will not get a tip regardless. it will piss your nugget twice the flip fuck off.

Dean at my college makes 4x my salary, he thinks I personally invented "VPN" to confuse him and make his life difficult

Followed by listening to them complain about how they are struggling with money because of how much their cars are costing them. Meanwhile I can't even afford to learn to drive and had to walk or cycle to work in the pissing rain again.

I have a colleague making close to twice my salary struggling with IT...but he's extremely skilled at his actual job.

Stupid brain surgeons, don't know how to save to pdf, I should make more money than them!

We just got a new employee at work. She is in her 60s and 100% computer illiterate. I had to give her training on how to use a mouse and how to click on bookmarks to open our shared sheets. She somehow deleted everything on one sheet the first day, but shes getting better. She doesn't own any computers and her phone is some no name model from 12 years ago. Im kinda impressed shes made it this far.

Been under a team leader long time ago. She double clicked all web page links. It was the first time I have been silent while witnessing something so outrageous.

Me watching someone who makes three times my salary use Excel for graphic design.
