Watching my dad right-click, and select "Copy" from the popup menu...
I don't watch my dad use the computer anymore as I feel the same as the one in the comic.
That time I saw him log in to his yahoo email (tldr; my dad uses google to go to yahoo)
Or that one time I asked him to login to to gmail account while he was browsing his yahoo email. (tldr; my dad does not believe in tabs)
This was painful to read. :|
Oh... Oh No. Closing the entire browser to open a new tab. I don't blame you at all for not being able to watch.
This just made me miss my dad so much. Pain.
I read the TL;DRs knowing what was going to happen only to continue reading and feel physical pain. What’s wrong with me…
There was a recurring gag on Parks And Rec about Pawnee internet users needing Altavista so they could use it to navigate to Google. That joke felt very real.

The horror!
I can understand parents. My mom was an office admin before computers and she could type 130+ wpm on a typewriter, but she struggles with things like this.
