Back when I was in college (mid to late 2000s) I worked in the campus computer lab. People frequently asked "how do I print stuff?" because they had to pay for it ($25 was included, it was to stop people from printing out a few hundred page books for free), they just had to swipe their ID at a touchscreen terminal, select the print jobs and hit "print".
This girl came over asking this question and I repeated the above, then she said "No... how do I print from the computer?". I was dumbfounded because this was a very large statue university that didn't accept just anyone. It was Microsoft Word (when they switched from the menu bar to that stupid start menu style button in the upper left hand corner) and she had zero clue how to use it. I was thinking "damn girl, how did you make it through high school and get accepted here?!". She was apparently your typical hot blonde airhead.
Please don't be sexist
Oh shut up. Lemmy is quickly turning into Reddit where people get butthurt and cry foul over the dumbest things.
